Stumbling Stones Willy-Lessing-Strasse 11

These brass plaques (Stolpersteine or stumbling stones), placed on August 22, 2023, commemorate:
* JUSTUS SAALHEIMER (born 1886, arrested in 1938, in Dachau, fled to Palestine in 1939)
* GRETEL SAALHEIMER-BICKART (born1895, fled to Palestine in 1939)

These Stolpersteine lie here for a Jewish couple who were persecuted but fled to Palestine.

"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.”
