These brass plaques (Stolpersteine or stumbling stones) commemorate:

* EVA SHOTLAND (born 1908, deported 1943, murdered 3-3-1943 Auschwitz)
* MEYER LEIB SHOTLAND (born 1878, deported 1943, murdered 3-3-1943 Auschwitz)

These Stolpersteine are laid here for Jewish war victims who were persecuted, deported and murdered during the Second World War.

‘Stolpersteine’ is an art project in 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 the former residences of (mostly Jewish) victims of the Nazis. Each plaque bears the name of the victim, their date of birth and their fate. In this way, Gunter Demnig gives each victim an individual memorial. One stone, one name, one person. He quotes the Talmud: ‘A person is only forgotten when their name is forgotten.’
