Lina Mai
Lina Mai is a Stolperstein in Würzburg, set into the pavement where a Jewish resident once lived. The small brass plaque brings Holocaust history into an ordinary street.
The marker belongs to a wider group commemorating members of the Mai family, including Ludwig, Minna, and Milli Mai. Lina Mai was deported from Koblenz to Izbica in the Lublin area on 22 March 1942. Izbica served as a transit ghetto in occupied Poland for Jews transported towards extermination camps. Her fate reflects the persecution that destroyed Würzburg’s Jewish community during the Nazi era.
Hand-engraved lettering places a person’s life within the everyday movement of the city. The plaque sits at street level, so noticing it requires looking down.
