Josef Stock (born October 28, 1934 ; † 1942 in Sobibor concentration camp ) and Rosel Stock (born July 14, 1937 ; † 1942 in Sobibor concentration camp) were two Jewish children from Wiesbaden who were deported and murdered by the National Socialists . They represent the victims of National Socialism in Wiesbaden.

The two siblings were born as children of the married couple Johanna and James Stock and grew up in very poor conditions in Wiesbaden. The family initially lived in an apartment at Jahnstrasse 24 and later moved to a small backyard apartment at Walramstrasse 31. By order of the authorities, the family had to move first to a barracks in the Mühltal homeless settlement in autumn 1939 , and then to the so-called Judenhaus in der 1940 Ludwigstraße 3. Temporarily could her son Joseph in the couple stick Jewish children's home of Bertha Pappenheim in Neu-Isenburg accommodate.

When over 400 of the Jewish citizens still living in Wiesbaden were deported on May 23, 1942 and June 10, 1942, the Stock family was also abducted. James Stock was murdered in Majdanek concentration camp , his wife and two children in the Sobibor extermination camp .

On January 31, 1995, the city council of Wiesbaden decided to rename the centrally located Cecilienplatz to Geschwister-Stock-Platz as a reminder of the atrocities of the National Socialists . The day care center on the square also bears the name of the two children.
