Stumbling Stones Hansastraße 36

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Edith Löwenthal (born 1922, murdered in Riga)
Käthe Cohn (born 1892, murdered in Minsk)
Lilly Cohn (born 1923, murdered in Minsk)
Ludwig Cohn (born 1921, murdered in Minsk)
Richard Cohn (born 1884, murdered in Minsk)
Frieda Karseboom (born 1871, murdered in Theresienstadt on 22-11-1942)
Lina Löwenthal (born 1878, murdered in Riga)
Max Löwenthal (born 1875, 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.
