Stumbling Stones Schäffnerstraße 22

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Rosa Jordan (born 1898, murdered in Piaski)
Julius Jordan (born 1891, murdered in Piaski)
Klara Jordan (born 1927, murdered in Piaski)
Annelore Jordan (born 1933, murdered in Piaski)
Inge Jordan (born 1935, murdered in Piaski)
Jette Gutmann (born 1867, murdered in Grafeneck on 20-9-1940)

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.

For more information and pictures, please visit Stolpersteine Regensburg (in German).
