Stumbling Stones Gerberau 6

These brass plaques (Stolpersteine or stumbling stones), laid on July 16, 2014, commemorate:
*EUGENIE JEANNE RUF (born 1905, fled and lived in hiding in France, survivor)
*MAX RUF (born 1898, fled to Switzerland and France in 1936, arrested in 1939, Paris/Colombes camp, transferred to the Foreign Legion in 1940, forced labor in Morocco, survivor)

These Stolpersteine are located here for Jewish people who survived World War II by fleeing abroad.

"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 sidewalk in front of the last voluntary residence of (usually Jewish) victims of the Nazis. Each plaque is provided with the victim’s, date of birth, and fate. 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.”
