Stumbling Stones Steinweg 3

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Julius Schild (born 1885, deported 1941, murdered September 1942 Chelmno/Kulmhof)
Martha Schild (born 1895, deported 1941. murdered September 1942 Chelmno/Kulmhof)
Walter Schild (born 1922, Childrens Transport to England 1938)
Rolf Schild (born 1924, Childrens Transport to England 1938)
Ida Schild (born 1882, fled to England 1935)

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.
