Stumbling Stones Moritzstraße 15

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Emanuel Itzinger (born 1927, murdered in Biecz)
Isaac Schaja Itzinger (born 1928, murdered in Biecz)
Manfred Itzinger (born 1927, murdered in Biecz)
Milka Itzinger (born 1925, murdered in Biecz)
Paul Moses Itzinger (born 1937, murdered in Biecz)
Israel Itzinger (born 1897, murdered in Biecz)
Henny Itzinger (born 1902, murdered in Biecz)
Adolf Itzinger (born 1925, murdered in Biecz)

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.
