Stumbling Stones Grindelallee 116

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Else von der Wall (born 1892, faith unknown)
Iwan Moses (born 1888, faith unknown)
Rifka Moses (born 1896, faith unknown)
Ruth Moses (born 1925, faith unknown)
Eva Hava Walden (born 1890, faith unknown)
Schlome Salmen Walden (born 1886, murdered in Lodz on 23-9-1942)

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.

For more information and pictures, please visit Stolpersteine Hamburg.
