Stumbling Stones Brotgasse 32

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Hertha Meyer (born 1897, murdered in Auschwitz on 23-2-1944)
Elfriede Gans (born 1905, murdered in Sobibor on 3-6-1942)
Judis Bela Gans (born 1940, murdered in Sobibor on 3-6-1942)
Manfred Jakob Gans (born 1938, murdered in Auschwitz on 23-10-1944)
Julius Meyer (born 1908, murdered in Buchenwald op 23-9-1939)

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.
