Stumbling Stones Augustastraße 48

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine or stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Rosel Nachmann (born 1911, escaped)
Karl Nachmann (born 1885, escaped)
Elsa Nachmann (born 1886, escaped)
Gertrude Nachmann (born 1915, escaped)
Edith Nachmann (born 1920, escaped)
Alice Nachmann (born 1925, escaped)
Grete Nachmann (born 1932, 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.
