Rosa Schindel
The Rosa Schindel Stolperstein lies in Frankfurt, where a small brass plaque brings Holocaust history into an everyday street setting. Its surface marks a personal memorial within the wider Stolpersteine project.
Artist Gunter Demnig began this project by placing brass plaques near the last voluntary homes of people persecuted by the Nazis. Each plaque carries an individual life into view. Rosa Schindel was born on 13 May 1924 and escaped to England on a Kindertransport in 1939. Her family came from Frankfurt. Some relatives were deported to concentration camps and murdered there. The pavement therefore holds both a story of survival and the traces of devastating family loss. A brass surface connects one Frankfurt address with a child’s journey away from Nazi persecution.
