Stumbling Stones Vogelhüttendeich 40

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Adolf Leo Laser (born 1918, murdered in Bergen-Belsen on 9-3-1945)
Clara Cohn (born 1888, murdered in Minsk)
Rudolph Michael Laser (born 1920, murdered in Auschwitz)

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.
