Stumbling Stones Neugasse 3

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Benni Ehrenreich (born 1927, murdered in Auschwitz)
Mary Ehrenreich (born 1922, murdered in Auschwitz)
Rosi Ehrenreich (born 1924, murdered in Auschwitz)
Leon Golomb (born 1897, murdered in Sobibor)

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).
