Stumbling Stones Franz-Ludwig-Strasse 13

These brass plaques (Stolpersteine or stumbling stones) commemorate:
* WILLY ARON (born 1907, arrested in the resistance on March 10, 1933, Bamberg prison, abused and tortured in Dachau in 1933, died May 17, 1933)
* FRITZ BRANDES (born 1915, arrested in 1938, Buchenwald, fled to England in 1939)

These Stolpersteine lie here for a resistance fighter who was abused and tortured to death. The second stone commemorates someone who managed to escape after arrest.

"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.”
