Stumbling Stones Kurt-Schumacher-Straße 35

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Ella Zuntz (born 1895, murdered in Theresienstadt)
Karl Zuntz (born 1897, murdered in Theresienstadt)
Miriam Zuntz (born 1934, murdered in Theresienstadt)
Esther Zuntz (born 1928, murdered in Sobibor on 23-7-1943)
Harry Zuntz (born 1933, murdered in Auschwitz)

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 Frankfurt am Main (in German).
