Stumbling Stones Isestraße 96

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Blanka Dreifus (born 1888, murdered in Lodz on 5-6-1942)
Max Dreifus (born 1884, died on 12-9-1941)
Selma Schlesinger (born 1876, murdered in Minsk)
Gertrud Singer (born 1921, murdered in Lodz on 16-11-1941)
Lot Voss (born 1890, murdered in Minsk)
Margarethe Voss (born 1895, murdered in Minsk)
Uri Voss (born 1928, 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.
