Stumbling Stones Wielandstraße 1

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Rosa Holländer (born 1911, murdered in 1939)
Fanny Katz (born 1876, murdered in Theresienstadt in 1943)
Leopold Katz (born 1874, murdered in Theresienstadt in 1942)

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.
