Stumbling Stones Lorsbacher Straße 36

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Karl Kahn (born 1895, died after imprisonment on 20-5-1938)
Antoinette Else Kahn (born 1900, escaped)
Kurt Erich Kahn (born 1928, 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 Hofheim am Taunus (in German).
