Stumbling Stones Försterweg 43

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Gerda Lazarus (born 1900, murdered in Auschwitz)
Salomon Falck (born 1897, murdered in Buchenwald on 29-3-1945)
Lina Falck (born 1892, murdered in Auschwitz)
Hilde Falck (born 1924, murdered in Auschwitz)
Ruth Falck (born 1929, murdered in Auschwitz)
Ilse Lazarus (born 1926, murdered in Auschwitz-Birkenau)

The small brass plaques, in the pavement in front of houses of which the (mostly Jewish) residents were persecuted or murdered by the Nazis, mention the name, date of birth and place (mostly a concentration camp) and date of death.

In many other cities, mainly in Germany but also in other European countries, the memorials also can be found. There are already many thousands of these plaques and their number is still counting. Almost all Stolpersteine are laid by the German artist himself, Gunter Demnig.
