Stumbling Stones Laufgraben 37

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Anita Abraham (born 1929, murdered in Lodz)
Helga Jutta Bielefeld (born 1927, murdered in Lodz)
Gerd Cohn (born 1926, murdered in Flossenbürg)
Vera Cohn (born 1928, murdered in Minsk)
Siegrid Dettmann (born 1931, murdered in Lodz)
Marion Krauthamer (born 1924, murdered in Lodz)
Johanna Pinkus (born 1924, murdered in Lodz)
Inge Weiss (born 1926, 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.
