Stumbling Stones Propsteistraße 6

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Regina Hahn (born 1867, died on 3-5-1942)
Martha Hahn (born 1893, faith unknown)
Moritz Hahn (born 1897, escaped)
Rosa Hahn (born 1901, escaped)
Josef Fred Hahn (born 1932, 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 Hattersheim am Main (in German).
