Stumbling Stones Grindelhof 43

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Artur Schickler (born 1906, murdered in Auschwitz in januari 1944)
Ruth Starke (born 1897, murdered in Auschwitz)
Sulamith Starke (born 1924, murdered in Auschwitz)
Irene Starke (born 1937, murdered in Auschwitz)
Vera Starke (born 1928, murdered in Auschwitz)
Röschen Rosenbaum (born 1873, murdered in Sobibor)

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.
