Stumbling Stones Steinweg 38

These brass plaques (Stolpersteine or stumbling stones), placed on June 29, 2011, commemorate:
* Hesslein Strauss (born 1876, deported in 1942, murdered in Izbica)
* Thekla Sander-Reilinger (born 1882, deported in 1941, murdered in Riga)
* Lotte Sander (born 1924, fled to the USA in 1939, survivor)

These Stolpersteine lie here for Jewish war victims, persecuted, deported, and murdered during World War II. One stone commemorates a survivor.

"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.”
