Stumbling Stones Isestraße 85

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Elise Cerline Nathan (born 1858, murdered in Treblinka)
Erna Baruch (born 1892, murdered in Minsk)
Walter Baruch (born 1882, murdered in Minsk)
Gretchen Cohn (born 1897, murdered in Lodz)
Max Cohn (born 1891, murdered in Lodz)
Erwin Cohn (born 1923, murdered in Mauthausen on 25-8-1941)
Senta Lissauer (born 1899, 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.
