Stumbling Stones Breiter Weg 193-194

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Dr. Martin Reinhold (born 1876, murdered in Treblinka in 1942)
Dora Reinhold (born 1884, murdered in Treblinka in 1942)
Ella Blumenthal (born 1880, murdered in Treblinka 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.

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