Stumbling Stones Lichtentaler Straße 56

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Arthur Durlacher (born 1902, murdered in Bergen-Belsen in 1945)
Erna Durlacher (born 1905, murdered in Stutthof in 1944)
Gerhard Durlacher (born 1928, survived Auschwitz en Gross-Rosen)

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.
