Gitta Cohn
The Gitta Cohn Stolperstein lies in the pavement of Thomasiusstraße 10 in Frankfurt. Its brass surface marks the former home of Gitta Cohn and her family.
Four names connect the memorial to Gitta, her sister Karolina, and their parents Richard and Else. In 1941, the family was deported from Frankfurt to Minsk, where their fate remains unknown. These stones belong to the Stolpersteine initiative, created by German artist Gunter Demnig to remember people persecuted under Nazi rule. Each marker places a personal history within the neighbourhood where its subject once lived.
A pendant belonging to Karolina Cohn was found at the Sobibor death camp by archaeologists. The discovery helped bring relatives together from around the world and gave the family’s history a tangible object.
