Stumbling Stones Münsterstraße 43

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine or stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Richard Cohen (born 1932, murdered in Riga in 1944)
Herta Cohen (born 1910, murdered in Riga)
Jenny Hertz (born 1887, murdered in Riga in 1944)
Moritz Hertz (born 1879, murdered in Sachsenhausen on 05-03-1942)
Norbert Hertz (born 1876, murdered in Sachsenhausen on 20-03-1942)
Guenter Hertz (born 1919)
, 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.
