Stumbling Stones Bahnhofstraße 23

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Auguste Bettelheiser (born 1927, murdered in Zamosc)
Emma Rosenberg (born 1876, murdered in Theresienstadt on 19-2-1943)
Frommi Bettelheiser (born 1888, murdered in Zamosc)
Josef Bettelheiser (born 1876, murdered in Zamosc)
Julius Bettelheiser (born 1924, murdered in Zamosc)

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.
