Stumbling Stones Großer Zimmerhof 21

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Jacob Berger (born 1884, faith unknown)
Rosa Berger (born 1888, faith unknown)
Max Berger (born 1918, escaped)
Kurt Berger (born 1921, escaped)
Leo Berger (born 1924, escaped)

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 Wolfenbüttel (in German).
