Stumbling Stones Im Kreise 23

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Isaak Feingersch (born 1885, murdered in Stutthof)
Rebecca Feingersch (born 1887, murdered in Riga)
Marie Feingersch (born 1911, murdered in Riga)
Fanny Prager (born 1918, murdered in Auschwitz in 1944)
Rosa Feingersch (born 1920, murdered in Auschwitz in 1942)
Hermann Feingersch (born 1927, murdered in Riga)

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 Celle (in German).
