Stumbling Stones Herderstraße 11

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Abraham Adolf Friedmann (born 1888, murdered in Sobibor in 1942)
Beatrix Friedmann (born 1924, murdered in Sobibor in 1942)
Edith Friedmann (born 1921, murdered in Sobibor in 1942)
Hilde Friedmann (born 1882, murdered in Sobibor in 1942)
Judith Friedmann (born 1940, murdered in Sobibor in 1942)

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.
