Stumbling Stones Weingasse 1

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Viktor Falkenstein (born 1882, murdered in Auschwitz)
Hanna Falkenstein (born 1890, murdered in Auschwitz)
Dina Israel (born 1880, murdered in Izbica)
Fritz Israel (born 1921, murdered in Majdanek)
Fritz Falkenstein (born 1915, murdered in Majdanek)
Margarethe Falkenstein (born 1920, murdered in Sobibor)

The small copper plaques, in the pavement in front of houses of which the (mostly Jewish) residents were murdered by the Nazis, mention the name, date of birth and place (mostly a concentration camp) and date of death.

In many other cities, mainly in Germany, the memorials also can be found. There are already many thousands of these plaques and their number is still counting. Almost all Stolpersteine are laid by the German artist himself, Gunter Demnig.
