Stumbling Stones Karl-Marx-Straße 56

These small, brass memorial plaques (Stolpersteine or stumbling stones) commemorate:
* Max Mandel, born 1882, deported 14 November 1941, murdered in Minsk.
* Gertrud Mandel née Wolff, born 1883, deported 14 November 1941, 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.
