Stumbling Stones Freistraße 23

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine or stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Julius Moses (born 1882, murdered in Sobibor in 1942)
Johanna Moses (born 1887, murdered in Sobibor in 1942)
Siegfried Samuel Moses (born 1925, murdered in Majdanek on 27-09-1942)
, persecuted or murdered by the Nazis.

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 and villages, 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.
