Stumbling Stones Krojaška ulica

These small, brass, memorial plaques (stolpersteine or stumbling stones) commemorate:

* Miroslav Frankl, born 1891, bannished to Cantu 1942, murdered 11 March 1944, at Fecchiu.
* Klara Frankl née Gosztonyi, born 1906, bannished to Cantu 1942, survived.

Miroslav Frankl, a clerk and citizen of Yugoslavia, and Klara Gosztonyi (one source says Klara Gostone) were married. His permanent residence, according to a Yad Vashem source, was in Zagreb. They were deported in 1942 to Cantu, near the norther border of Italy. Klara Frankl survived, but two years later Miroslav Frankl was murdered in the small village of Fecchio, two km NE of Cantu. No other information was found about them.

"Stolpersteine" is an art project for Europe by Gunter Demnig to commemorate victims of National Socialism (Nazism). Stolpersteine (stumbling stones) are small, 10x10cm brass plaques placed in the pavement in front of the last voluntary residence of (mostly Jewish) victims who were murdered by the Nazis. Each plaque is engraved with the victim’s name, date of birth, and place (mostly a concentration camp) and date of death. By doing this, Gunter Demnig gives an individual memorial to each victim. One stone, one name, one person. He cites the Talmud: "A human being is forgotten only when his or her name is forgotten."
