Stumbling Stones Bertholdstraße 4

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Amalie Nachmann (born 1892, murdered in Auschwitz in 1942)
Hedwig Nachmann (born 1893, murdered in Auschwitz in 1942)
Ludwig Nachmann (born 1887, murdered in Noe on 2-3-1942)

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

In many other cities, mainly in Germany but also in other European countries, 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.
