Stumbling Stone Webergasse 26

This brass plaque (Stolperstein or stumbling stone), placed on November 26, 2010, commemorates:
* MARTIN BAER (b. 1885, abused by the SA, fled to London in 1939, died in 1942)

This Stolperstein lies here for a Jewish man who fled abroad after being abused but died during World War II, presumably as a result of the abuse.

"Stolpersteine” is an art project for Europe by Gunter Demnig to commemorate victims of National Socialism (Nazism). Stolpersteine (stumbling stones) are small, 10x10cm brass plaques placed in the sidewalk in front of the last voluntary residence of (usually Jewish) victims of the Nazis. Each plaque is provided with the victim’s, date of birth, and fate. By doing this, Gunter Demnig gives an individual memorial to each victim. One stone, one name, one person. He cites the Talmud: “A human being is forgotten only when his or her name is forgotten.”
