Stumbling Stones Zinkenwörth 35

These brass plaques (Stolpersteine or stumbling stones) commemorate:
* ALBERT WEIL (born 1865, deported to Theresienstadt in 1942, murdered on February 13, 1943)
* SOFIE WEIL-DORNACHER (born 1885, deported to Theresienstadt in 1942, murdered on March 10, 1943)
* RUTH WEIL (born 1923, forced labor in Kersdorf/Brandenburg in 1940, deported and murdered in Auschwitz in 1943)

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.”
