Stumbling Stones Moselstraße 74

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Elli Reichenstein (born 1892, murdered in Stutthof in januari 1945)
Helga Reichenstein (born 1926, murdered in Stutthof on 11-12-1944)
Helmuth Reichenstein (born 1929, survived)

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 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.

For more information and pictures, please visit Stolpersteine in Cologne (in German).
