Stumbling Stones Brüderstraße 3

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Abraham Becker (born 1910, murdered)
Rosa Becker (born 1905, murdered in Plaszow in 1942)
Isaak Becker (born 1934, murdered in Kolomyja in 1942)
Ruth Becker (born 1937, murdered in Plaszow in 1942)
Moses Zauderer (born 1868, murdered in Kolomyja in 1942)
Jente Zauderer (born 1872, murdered)
Heinrich Zauderer (born 1895, murdered in Buchenwald in 1942)
Hanna Becker (born 1937, 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.

For more information and pictures, please visit Stolpersteine Remscheid (in German).
