Stumbling Stones Rosenstraße 13

These brass plaques (Stolpersteine or stumbling stones), placed on May 21, 2004, and February 28, 2019, commemorate:
* LEOPOLD OPPENHEIMER (born 1880, deported in 1942 to the Izbica transit ghetto, murdered)
* RECHA OPPENHEIMER-TACHAUER (born 1888, deported in 1942 to the Izbica transit ghetto, murdered in 1942)

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.”
