Stumbling Stones Moselstraße 44

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Isidor Julius Salm (born 1892, murdered in Minsk 24 july 1942)
Jenny Salm (born 1897, murdered in Minsk 24 july 1942)
Amalie Inge Salm (born 1927, murdered in Minsk 24 july 1942)
Salomon Erwin Salm (born 1927, murdered in Minsk 24 july 1942)

The small copper 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 cities, 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.

For more information and pictures, please visit Stolpersteine in Cologne (in German).
