Stumbling Stones Kunigundendamm 20

These brass plaques (Stolpersteine or stumbling stones) commemorate:
* GUSTAV FLEISCHMANN (born 1891, arrested in 1938, Dachau, fled to Chile in 1939)
* MARGARETE FLEISCHMANN-CAHN (born 1901, fled to Chile in 1939)
* ANNELIESE FLEISCHMANN (born 1922, fled to Chile in 1939)
* ERNST OTTO FLEISCHMANN (born 1925, fled to Chile in 1939)
* PAUL FLEISCHMANN (born 1928, fled to Chile in 1939)

These Stolpersteine lie here for a Jewish family who were persecuted but fled to Chile 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.”
