Stumbling Stones Lützowstraße 6

Resi Regensburger (fled out of Germany)
Curt-Moritz Regensburger (fled out of Germany)
Gerda-Ruth Regensburger (fled out of Germany)

Adelheid Seelig (died in Westerbork in 1941)
Irmgard Seelig (born 1901, murdered in Sobibor)

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).
