Stumbling Stones Eichenstraße 24-26

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Hermann Baranski (born 1873, murdered in Theresienstadt on 5-8-1943)
Betty Baranski (born 1869, murdered in Theresienstadt on 8-4-1943)
Edith Neumann (born 1900, murdered in Treblinka)
Bruno Neumann (born 1885, murdered in Treblinka)
Ruth Helga Balint (born 1926, escaped)

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 Brandenburg (in German).
