Stumbling Stones Mühlenweg 25

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Joseph Holländer (born 1884, murdered in Zamosc)
Julie Holländer (born 1886, murdered in Zamosc)
Arthur Holländer (born 1925, murdered in Zamosc)
Willi Holländer (born 1893, murdered in Auschwitz)
Elisabetha „Gerti“ Holländer (born 1900, murdered in Auschwitz)
Arno Alfred Holländer (born 1928, murdered in Auschwitz)
Lothar Holländer (born 1933, murdered in Auschwitz)

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.
