Stumbling Stones Grindelhof 9

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Hanny Meyer (born 1920, murdered in Lodz)
Hilda Gutmann (born 1892, murdered in Lodz)
Ilse Gutmann (born 1937, murdered in Lodz)
John Löwenstein (born 1886, murdered in Minsk)
Paula Meyer (born 1890, murdered in Lodz)

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.
