Stumbling Stones Weseler Straße 43

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
* Abraham Rosenbaum. Born 1873. Deported 1942. Murdered in Riga.
* Johanna Rosenbaum. Born 1923. Deported 1942. Murdered in Riga.
* Dina Rosenbaum, nee Steinmann. Born 1880. Deported 1942. Murdered in Riga.

The small brass plaques, in the pavement in front of houses of which the (mostly Jewish) residents were murdered by the Nazis, mention the name, date of birth and place (mostly a concentration camp) and date of death.

In many other German cities 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.
