Stumbling Stones Isestraße 55

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Clara Lavy (born 1878, murdered in Riga)
Rudolf Fürst (born 1899, murdered in Minsk)
Dr. Isidor Fürst (born 1859, murdered in Theresienstadt on 19-12-1942)
Hedwig Fürst (born 1874, murdered in Theresienstadt on 23-7-1943)
Martha Fürstenberg (born 1886, murdered in Lodz)
Herbert Pincus (born 1920, murdered in Minsk)
Ignatz Pincus (born 1871, murdered in Minsk)
Marianne Pincus (born 1884, murdered in Minsk)

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.
