Stumbling Stones Augustastraße 4

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine or stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Siegfried Klarbach (born 1872, murdered in Theresienstadt on 02-09-1942)
Rebekka Berger (born 1858, murdered in Theresienstadt on 10-12-1942)
Herbert Stamm (born 1924, murdered in Auschwitz)
Lina Hamlet (born 1889, murdered in Auschwitz)
Max Stamm (born 1892, murdered in Auschwitz)
Richard Hamlet (born 1891, murdered in Auschwitz)
Werner Stamm (born 1922, murdered in Auschwitz on 02-01-1944)
Günther Stamm (born 1920, murdered in Auschwitz)
, 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.
