These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine or stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Markus Linick (born 1877, murdered in Sobibor on 07-05-1943)
Recha Linick (born 1877, murdered in Sobibor on 07-05-1943)
Selma Glauberg (born 1877, murdered in Sobibor)
Heinz Gottlieb (born 1905, murdered in Theresienstadt on 03-10-1943)
Lucie Gottlieb (born 1911, murdered in Auschwitz)
Franziska Lorsch (born 1856, murdered in Theresienstadt on 22-08-1942)
Henriette Lorsch (born 1863, murdered in Theresienstadt on 03-09-1942)
Rosalie Lorsch (born 1852, murdered in Theresienstadt on 24-08-1942)
Paul Linick (born 1909, murdered)
, 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.
