Stumbling Stones Keßlerstraße 6a

These brass plaques (Stolpersteine or stumbling stones), placed on March 9, 2022, commemorate:
* LEOPOLD ADLER (born 1877, imprisoned in Bamberg in 1938, deported to Riga in 1941, murdered)
* MARTIN ADLER (born 1915, fled to the USA in 1937)
* SELMA ADLER-WEISSMANN (born 1890, deported to Riga in 1941, murdered)

These Stolpersteine lie here for Jewish war victims, persecuted, deported, and murdered during World War II. One of them was able to escape in time.

"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.”
