Stumbling Stones Hügelstraße 12

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Doris Wolf (born 1921, escaped)
Edith Wolf (born 1927, escaped)
Else Wolf (born 1898, murdered in Izbica)
Erna Wolf (born 1897, escaped)
Friedrich Wolf (born 1888, escaped)
Lore Wolf (born 1922, escaped)
Semy Wolf (born 1885, escaped)
Walter Wolf (born 1925, murdered in Izbica)

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 Langen (Hessen) (in German).
