Stumbling Stones Steinstraße 4

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine or stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Jacob Auerbach (born 1874, murdered in Lodz on 25-02-1942)
Klara Auerbach (born 1877, murdered in Izbica)
Fanny Auerbach (born 1876, murdered in Lodz on 08-08-1942)
Erich Auerbach (born 1922, died in mei 1945)
Kurt Auerbach (born 1926, murdered in Lodz in 1942)
, persecuted or murdered by the Nazis.

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 and villages, 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.
