Stumbling Stones Grindelallee 126

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Aurelia Lasdun (born 1889, murdered in Auschwitz)
Josef Lasdun (born 1878, murdered in Auschwitz)
Sophie Gertrud Lasdun (born 1914, murdered in Auschwitz)
Charles Lasdun (born 1920, murdered in Auschwitz)
Fanny Lasdun (born 1924, murdered in Auschwitz)
Sulamith Lasdun (born 1918, murdered in Auschwitz)
Valesca Lewin (born 1879, murdered in Riga)

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.
