Stumbling Stones Philipp-Reis-Straße 4

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine or stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Berta Heymann (born 1884, murdered in Lodz)
Jean Heymann (born 1878, murdered in Lodz)
Irma Gottschalk (born 1910, murdered in Auschwitz on 30-09-1942)
Hugo Gottschalk (born 1903, murdered in Lodz on 12-08-1942)
Paula Alexander (born 1886, murdered in Riga in 1943)
Wilhelm August (born 1888, murdered in 1942)
Marianne Stern (born 1862, murdered in Treblinka on 26-09-1942)
, 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.
