Stumbling Stones Hainstrasse 9

These brass plaques (Stolpersteine or stumbling stones) commemorate:
* DAVID HERRMANN (born 1864, fled to Bolivia in 1940, died on January 21, 1940, as a result of a fire on the MS Orazio)
* HELENE HERRMANN-HERRMANN (born 1858, fled to Bolivia in 1940, died on January 21, 1940, as a result of a fire on the MS Orazio)

These Stolpersteine are located here in memory of a Jewish couple who managed to escape but perished in a tragic boating accident during World War II.

"Stolpersteine” is an art project for Europe by Gunter Demnig to commemorate victims of National Socialism (Nazism). Stolpersteine (stumbling stones) are small, 10x10cm brass plaques placed in the sidewalk in front of the last voluntary residence of (usually Jewish) victims of the Nazis. Each plaque is provided with the victim’s, date of birth, and fate. By doing this, Gunter Demnig gives an individual memorial to each victim. One stone, one name, one person. He cites the Talmud: “A human being is forgotten only when his or her name is forgotten.”
