Stumbling Stones Mohrenstrasse 32

These brass plaques (Stolpersteine or stumbling stones), placed on November 24, 2022, commemorate:
* DR. EMIL GUTMANN (born 1877, fled to Cuba in 1941)
* SOFIE GUTMANN-GRÜNEWALD (born 1889, fled to Cuba in 1941)
* HELENE GUTMANN (born 1912, forced to move to Cologne in 1938, fled to the USA)
* GRETE GUTMANN (born 1917, fled to Switzerland in 1938)

These Stolpersteine lie here for Jewish survivors of 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.”
