Stumbling Stones Friedrich-Ebert-Ring 29

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Bernhard Gutmann (born 1883, murdered in Theresienstadt on 16-2-1943)
Laura Gutmann (born 1894, murdered in Auschwitz in 1944)
Julie Hellmann (born 1913, murdered in Sobibor in 1943)
Moritz Hellmann (born 1877, murdered in Sobibor in 1943)
Rachel Hellmann (born 1880, murdered in Sobibor in 1943)
Regina Hellmann (born 1912, murdered in Sobibor 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.

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