Stumbling Stones Breitenstraße 19-21

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Hermann Linz (born 1878, murdered in Auschwitz in oktober 1944)
Fanny Linz (born 1892, murdered in Auschwitz in oktober 1944)
Jettchen Gans (born 1871, murdered in Theresienstadt on 1-11-1944)
Betty Gans (born 1899, murdered in Piaski in 1942)

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.
