Stumbling Stones Breitenstraße 16

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Adolf Speier (born 1892, murdered in Auschwitz in oktober 1944)
Berni Speier (born 1898, murdered in Auschwitz in oktober 1944)
Moritz Oppenheim (born 1895, murdered in Brandenburg an der Havel on 1-10-1940)

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.
