The Memory Stones pay tribute to victims of Nazism during WWII. They are shaped like cobblestone and coated with a brass plate where the name, year of birth, year of deportation, as well as date, and place of death are engraved. The three stones that were laid down during the ceremony honored Ernst Josef Adler, Fritz Gustav Löwy, and Meta Hirschberg.
