Stumbling Stones Geibelstraße 39

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Robert Glücksmann (born 1877, murdered in Theresienstadt on 10-9-1942)
Käthe Glücksmann (born 1886, murdered in Auschwitz in 1944)
Brigitte Glücksmann (born 1924, escaped and killed during airstrike on London)
Margarethe Stern (born 1864, murdered in Theresienstadt in 1943)

The small brass plaques, in the pavement in front of houses of which the (mostly Jewish) residents were persecuted or 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.
