Stumbling Stones 96 Avenue Charlotte

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine or stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Golda Bornstein
Heige Bella Furleiser
Rachmil Bornstein
Salomon Bornstein
Dina Bornstein
Esther Bornstein
, persecuted or murdered by the Nazis.

The small brass plaques of 10 by 10 cm, 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.
