Stumbling Stones Keßlerstraße 24

These brass plaques (Stolpersteine or stumbling stones), placed on September 12, 2013, commemorate:
* CAROLA FREUDENTHAL (born 1930, deported to Riga in 1941, murdered)
* ELSE FREUDENTHAL-GUTH (born 1896, deported to Riga in 1941, murdered)
* VIKTOR FREUDENTHAL (born 1896, forced labor in public works in Bamberg in 1940, deported to Riga in 1941, to Stutthof in 1944, murdered in Buchenwald on March 2, 1945)
* CHARLOTTE GUTH-HIRSCHMANN (born 1864, deported to Theresienstadt in 1942, murdered in Treblinka)

These Stolpersteine lie here for Jewish war victims, persecuted, deported, and murdered during 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.”
