Stumbling Stones Murgtalstraße

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine or stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Nathan Kahn (born 1878, suicide in 1933)
Gertrud Meyerhoff (born 1910, escaped)
Dr. Isidor Meyerhoff (born 1875, died on 08-06-1940
Frieda Meyerhoff (born 1880, escaped)
Friedrich Meyerhoff (born 1917, escaped)
, 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.
