Description
Stolpersteine commemorating the Marx family. As antisemitic sentiment rose in Nazi Germany the family were forced to flee their home in Lichtenfels in 1939. A Stolperstein is a ten-centimetre concrete cube bearing a brass plate inscribed with the name and life dates of victims of Nazi extermination or persecution. Stolpersteine are installed at the last place that the person chose freely to reside, work or study. This commemoration project was started by artist Gunter Demnig in 1992 and today there are more than 100,000 Stolpersteine all across Europe.
