Stumbling Stones Egerstraße 6

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine or stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Simon Friedemann (born 1872, murdered in Auschwitz)
Elfriede Friedemann (born 1906, murdered in Lodz)
Irma Friedemann (born 1907, murdered in Lodz)
Thea Schwartze (born 1906, murdered in Auschwitz)
, 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.
