Stumbling Stones Raugasse 4

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine or stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Dr. Leopold Bauer (born 1879, murdered in Sobibor)
Emma Bauer (born 1897, murdered in Sobibor)
Ernst Bauer (born 1923, murdered in Sobibor)
Susanne Bauer (born 1927, murdered in Sobibor)
, 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.
