Stumbling Stone Bispegata 1

This brass plaque (Stolperstein or stumbling stone) commemorates:

* HERMAN SMITH (born 1907, deported 1942, murdered 13-2-1943 Auschwitz)

This Stolperstein lies here for a Jewish war victim, persecuted, deported and/or murdered during the Second World War.

‘Stolpersteine’ is an art project in Europe by Gunter Demnig in memory of 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.’
