Stumbling Stones Jasperallee 22

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Henriette Gittel Lewy (born 1860, murdered in Sobibor on 14-6-1942)
Henriette Katz (born 1890, murdered in Warsaw)
Ehemann Katz (born 1884, murdered in Warsaw)

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 Braunschweig (in German).
