Stumbling Stones Spitalgasse 7

These brass plaques (Stolpersteine or stumbling stones), placed on June 29, 2011, commemorate:
* ISIDOR BISSBERG (born 1873, protective custody 1933, abused by the SS, fled to Switzerland in 1933, survivor)
* MORITZ BISSBERG (born 1882, protective custody 1933, abused by the SS, left Coburg in 1933, fate unknown)

These Stolpersteine are located here for Jewish victims, persecuted and abused during World War II.

"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.”
