Stumbling Stones Hauptstraße 82

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine or stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Edeltraud Neuhaus (born 1929, murdered in Chelmno on 12-05-1942)
Moritz Neuhaus (born 1890, murdered in Theresienstadt)
Adele Neuhaus (born 1891, murdered in Chelmno on 12-05-1942)
Hannelore Neuhaus (born 1930, murdered in Chelmno on 12-05-1942)
, 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.
