Stumbling Stones Bügelstraße 5

These memorial stones (so called Stolpersteine or stumbling blocks) commemorate:
Helene Baumgart (born 1890, murdered in Warsaw)
Jenny Baumgart (born 1892, murdered in Warsaw)
Julie Fromm (born 1858, murdered in Theresienstadt)
Emma Löwenstern (born 1899, murdered in Warsaw)
Johann Löwenstern (born 1896, murdered in Warsaw)
Julius Löwenstern 1869, murdered in Treblinka)
Ida Löwenstern (born 1883, murdered in Treblinka)
Rudolf (Rolf) Löwenstern (born 1926, murdered in Warsaw)
Alma-Ursel Salomon (born 1930, murdered in Minsk)
, 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.
