Remembrance Stones Dirmhirngasse 25

These small brass memorial plaques (Erinnerungssteine / Stolpersteine) in the pavement in front of the house door commemorate:
- Bertha Neumann nee Kunreuther, born 1893, deported to Theresienstadt, murdered in Auschwitz.
- Karl Neumann, born 1890, deported to Theresienstadt, murdered in Auschwitz.
- Klaus Neumann, born 1932, deported to Theresienstadt, murdered in Auschwitz.


"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 pavement in front of the last voluntary residence of (mostly Jewish) victims who were murdered by the Nazis. Each plaque is engraved with the victim’s name, date of birth, and place (mostly a concentration camp) and date of death. 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."
