Stumbling Stones Ossenreyerstraße 53

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:

Max Joseph (born 1874, murdered in Sobibor 23 juli 1943)
Charlotte Getrud Joseph (born 1878, murdered in Sobibor 23 juli 1943)
Paula Süssmann (born 1873, murdered in Piaska 5 march 1941)
Charlotte Süssmann (born 1899, murdered in Lublin 17 march 1940)
Margarete Blach (born 1876, murdered in Piaska 30 juli 1940)

The small brass plaques, 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, 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.
