Stumbling Stones Jakobstraße 10

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Moses Wolf Menschenfreund (born 1893, murdered in Buchenwald on 13-4-1940)
Ida Eitel (Ethel) Menschenfreund (born 1894, faith unknown)
Gerda Menschenfreund (born 1922, faith unknown)
Felix Menschenfreund (born 1925, faith unknown)
Leo Isis (Issi) Menschenfreund (born 1927, faith unknown)
Dagobert Menschenfreund (born 1931, faith unknown)

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.
