Stumbling Stones Isestraße 93

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Lilly Margulies (born 1889, murdered in Lodz on 3-2-1943)
Lina Cossen (born 1871, murdered in Auschwitz)
Valeska Hertz (born 1873, murdered in Lodz on 29-4-1942)
Rosa Lion (born 1870, murdered in Lodz in 1943)
Norbert Margulies (born 1885, murdered in Lodz)
Ursel Margulies (born 1923, 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.
