Stumbling Stones Kielortallee 23

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Bertha Cohn (born 1870, murdered in Treblinka)
Jenny Cohn (born 1865, murdered in Theresienstadt on 26-8-1942)
Minna Fleischhauer (born 1860, murdered in Theresienstadt on 22-9-1943)
Marianne Lange (born 1874, murdered in Auschwitz)
Olga Schey (born 1873, murdered in Theresienstadt on 11-10-1942)

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.
