Stumbling Stone Schmiedelstraße 7

These brass plaques (Stolpersteine or stumbling stones), placed on May 21, 2004, commemorate:
* MAX STERN (born 1876, imprisoned in Würzburg in 1938, fled to Belgium in 1939, deported in 1942 to the Krasnicyn transit ghetto, murdered)
* ROSA STERN-MAYER (born 1885, deported in 1942 to Krasnicyn, fate unknown)

These Stolpersteine lie here for Jewish war victims, persecuted, deported, and murdered during World War II.

"Stolpersteine” is an art project for Europe by Gunter Demnig to commemorate victims of National Socialism (Nazism). Stolpersteine (stumbling stones) are small, 10x10cm brass plaques placed in the sidewalk in front of the last voluntary residence of (usually Jewish) victims of the Nazis. Each plaque is provided with the victim’s, date of birth, and fate. By doing this, Gunter Demnig gives an individual memorial to each victim. One stone, one name, one person. He cites the Talmud: “A human being is forgotten only when his or her name is forgotten.”
