Stumbling Stones Goebenstraße 4

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Eva Frank (born 1933, murdered in Sobibor)
Johanna Frank (born 1897, murdered in Sobibor)
Sara Frank (born 1937, murdered in Sobibor)
Bernhard Grünbaum (born 1884, murdered in Heilanstalt Bernburg in 1943)
Fella Grünbaum (born 1886, murdered in Auschwitz)
Katharina Sender (born 1865, murdered in Theresienstadt on 23-1-1943)

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 Wiesbaden (in German).
