Stumbling Stones Gröhrmühlgasse 13

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine or stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Julius Buxbaum (born 1894, murdered in Lodz)
Grete Buxbaum (born 1895, murdered in Chelmno)
Max Buxbaum (born 1927, murdered in Chelmno)
Julie Buxbaum (born 1929, murdered in Chelmno)
, 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.
