Mendel Schindel
In Frankfurt, Mendel Schindel is remembered by a brass Stolperstein set into the pavement. The plaque belongs to Gunter Demnig’s European art project for victims of National Socialism. Each ten-by-ten-centimetre plaque marks a last voluntary residence with a name, birth date, and fate.
Born in 1896, Mendel Schindel was deported to Minsk in 1941 and later murdered. The Schindel family endured persecution, while some children escaped through transports to England and Denmark. This small square connects a Frankfurt pavement with one life, one family, and the Holocaust.
