Stumbling Stones Brahmsallee 13

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Bruno Schragenheim (born 1899, murdered in Minsk)
Moritz Bacharach (born 1888, murdered during death march in Riesa in 1945)
Erna B. Bacharach (born 1899, murdered in Auschwitz)
Veilchen Elias (born 1865, murdered in Treblinka)
Gretchen Fels (born 1879, murdered in Auschwitz)
Jona Fels (born 1869, murdered in Theresienstadt on 7-10-1942)
Irma Schragenheim (born 1897, murdered in Minsk)

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.
