Stumbling Stones Rambacher Straße 11

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Franziska Levita (born 1862, murdered in Treblinka on 19-9-1942)
Frieda Levita (born 1886, murdered in Sobibor in 1942)
Ludwig Levita (born 1886, murdered in Mauthausen on 7-4-1942)

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.

For more information and pictures, please visit Stolpersteine Wiesbaden (in German).
