Stumbling Stones Oststraße 13

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine or stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Jeanette Hertz (born 1881, murdered in Riga)
Robert Hertz (born 1915, murdered in Riga in 1942)
Kurt Hertz (born 1909, murdered in Sachsenhausen)
, 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.
