Stumbling Stones Otto-Friese-Straße 1a

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Adolf Herz (born 1875, murdered in Minsk)
Johanna Herz (born 1875, murdered in Minsk)
Arthur Cohen (born 1901, murdered in Minsk)
Ilse Cohen (born 1907, murdered in Minsk)
Ingrid Cohen (born 1929, murdered in Minsk)
Hannelore Cohen (born 1935, murdered in Minsk)
Max Ehrlich (born 1873, murdered in Treblinka)
Berta Juchenheim (born 1859, murdered in Treblinka)

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 Bremen (in German).
