Stumbling Stones Haalstraße 4

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Salomon Lewkowitz (born 1898, murdered in Arbeitslager Brieskow-Finkenheerd on 6-8-1942)
Gusta Lewkowitz (born 1899, faith unknown)
Moses Lewkowitz (born 1932, faith unknown)

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.
