Stumbling Stone 28. října 105/15

This small brass memorial plaque (Stolperstein or stumbling stone), commemorates:
Hermine Wechsbergova-Kriegerova, (born 1883, deported 1942 to Theresienstadt, murdered 28-11-1944, Auschwitz.)

"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 a 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."
