Stumbling blocks

Patrick Gutenberg

In my father's estate, I found letters from the 1930s from a relative in Hamburg to my grandmother. She asked my grandmother for help escaping Germany. My research revealed that she and her husband were deported and murdered by the Nazis because of their Jewish heritage. I had a Stolperstein placed in Hamburg for them.
