Stumbling Stone Heiligkreuzstrasse 22

This brass plaque (Stolperstein or stumbling stone), placed on November 26, 2010, commemorates:
* MARTIN MANNHEIMER (born 1898, protective custody in 1933, abused by the SS hospital in Coburg, fled to France and the US in 1939, survivor)

This Stolperstein is placed here for a Jewish victim, persecuted and abused but who fled abroad just before World War II.

"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.”
