Stumbling Stones Ziegenrück 13

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Helma Helene Katz (born 1922, murdered in Stutthof on 4-12-1944)
Ida Katz (born 1888, murdered in Auschwitz in November 1943)
Ingeborg Katz (born 1926, murdered in Stutthof)
Lion Katz (born 1887, murdered in Buchenwald on 2-10-1944)
Marga Katz (born 1920, murdered in Stutthof)

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.
