Stumbling Stones Auf dem Hook

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine or stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Moses Frank (born 1882, murdered in Auschwitz on 09-12-1942)
Sara Frank (born 1888, murdered in Auschwitz on 09-12-1942)
Frieda Frank (born 1920, murdered in Auschwitz on 09-12-1942)
Julius Frank (born 1920, murdered in Auschwitz on 09-12-1942)
Philipp Fritz Frank (born 1925, murdered in Auschwitz on 09-12-1942)
Max Manfred Frank, 1927, murdered in Auschwitz on 09-12-1942)
, 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.
