Stumbling Stones Brüderstraße 1

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine or stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Erwin Hecht (born 1907)
Rosalie Hecht (born 1868, murdered in Auschwitz)
Sophie Hecht (born 1900, murdered in Auschwitz)
Fanny Hecht (born 1884, murdered in Riga)
Frieda Hecht (born 1888, murdered in Sobibor)
Helmut Strasser (born 1924, murdered in Riga)
Philipp Hecht (born 1886, murdered in Riga)
Marta Strasser (born 1881, murdered in Riga)
, 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.
