Stumbling Stones Brassertstraße 101

This memorial stone (so called Stolpersteine of stumbling blocks) commemorates
* Bertha Rosenbach, born 1873, deported 1942, murdered in Riga.

Stolperstein sponsored by SPD-Ortsverein Alt-Marl/Brassert and CDU-Ortsverband Brassert-Lippe.

The small brass plaques, in the pavement in front of houses of which the (mostly Jewish) residents were murdered by the Nazis, mention the name, date of birth and place (mostly a concentration camp) and date of death.

In many other German cities 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.
