Stumbling Stones Nebenrittergasse

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine or stumbling blocks) commemorate:
-Jetta STRAUSS (born 1879, deportation 1942 to the East, murdered 1942).
-Frieda WOLF (born Adler 1883, deportation 1940 Gurs, murdered in Auschwitz 1942).
-Moses WOLF (born 1878, deportation 1940 Gurs, murdered in Auschwitz).

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.
