Stumbling Stones Gelderstraße 33

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine or stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Adolf Rothschild (born 1877, murdered on 14-11-1938)
Rebecca Bertha Rothschild (born 1886, murdered in Riga)
Frieda Jakubitz (born 1917, murdered)
Hildegard Mathias (born 1919, murdered)
Rudolf Rothschild (born 1922, murdered in Riga)
Lane Mathias (murdered)
Rebecca Rothschild (born 1886, murdered in Riga)
Rudolf Rothschild (born 1922, murdered in Riga)
Lane Mathias (born 1941, 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.
