Stumbling Stones Wiener Gasse 4

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine or stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Emmanuel Neumann (born 1858, murdered in Theresienstadt on 08-09-1942)
Mathilde Neumann (born 1860, murdered in Theresienstadt on 07-10-1942)
Alfons Neumann (born 1888, murdered in Buchenwald on 22-07-1941)
Marie Hauser (born 1884, murdered in Auschwitz on 23-01-1943)
, 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.
