Stumbling Stones Greulingstraße 2

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Josef Chaim Artmann (born 1884, murdered in Lodz in 1942)
Eidel Artmann (born 1881, murdered in Lodz in 1942)
Peppi Dora Spira (born 1920, murdered in Auschwitz)
Jochewed Kamiel (born 1909, murdered in Riga)
Hanna Kamiel (born 1938, murdered in Riga)
Doris Kamiel (born 1936, 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 Remscheid (in German).
