Stumbling Stones Falkenbergsweg 62

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Elisabeth Polach (born 1902, died in Bergen-Belsen on 29-6-1945)
Ruth Frischmannova (born 1928, murdered in Bergen-Belsen on 4-5-1945)
Zuzana Glaserová (born 1925, murdered in Neuengamme on 20-3-1945)
Nina Müller (born 1921, murdered in Bergen-Belsen on 17-4-1945)

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.
