Stumbling Stones Bahnhofstrasse 28

These brass plaques (Stolpersteine or stumbling stones), placed on July 15, 2013, commemorate:
* HELEN FORCHHEIMER-KRAEMER (born 1899, fled to the Netherlands in 1938, to the USA in 1939, survivor)
* MAX FORCHHEIMER (born 1884, fled to Sweden in 1938, to the USA in 1939, survivor)
* ROBERT FORCHHEIMER (born 1925, involuntarily removed to Berlin in 1938, fled to the Netherlands in 1938, to the USA in 1939, survivor)
* RUTH FORCHHEIMER-KRAUS (born 1923, involuntarily removed to Berlin in 1938, fled to the Netherlands in 1938, to the USA in 1939, survivor)

These Stolpersteine are located here for a Jewish family who fled the war and thus survived the Second World War.

"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.”
