Stumbling Stones Riehler Straße 23

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Dr. Eugen Lowenstein (born 1871 escape to the USA in 1933)
Paula Lowenstein (born 1882 escape to the USA)
Hildegard Dina Lowenstein (born 1909 expelled to england and Dominican Rep)
Hans Arthur Lowenstein (born 1912 escaped to the USA in 1936)

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, 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.
