Stumbling Stones Am Betonwerk 2

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine or stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Pauline Mesritz (murdered)
Sitta Mesritz (born 1910, murdered in Auschwitz in 1943)
Erich Mesritz (born 1913, murdered in Buchenwald)
Heinz Mesritz (born 1915, murdered in Auschwitz in 1943)
Benno Mesritz (born 1921, murdered in Sobibor in 1943)
, 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.
