Stumbling Stone Schulstraße 23

This Stolperstein (also called Stumbling Stone) commemorates:
JOZEF WERTHEIMER, (born 1858, deported 1940 Gurs, died 1940).

This Stolperstein is here for a Jewish war victim, persecuted, deported and murdered in World War II.

“Stolpersteine” is an art project in Europe by Gunter Demnig commemorating victims of National Socialism (Nazism).
Stolpersteine (trip stones) are small, 10x10cm brass plaques placed in the sidewalk in front of a residence of (mostly Jewish) victims of the Nazis. Each plaque bears the victim's name, date of birth and their fate. In this way, Gunter Demnig gives an individual memorial to each victim. One stone, one name, one person. He quotes the Talmud: “A person is forgotten only when his or her name is forgotten.”
