List of stumbling blocks in Apolda

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The list of stumbling blocks in Apolda contains all the stumbling blocks that were laid by Gunter Demnig in Apolda as part of the art project of the same name . They are intended to commemorate the victims of National Socialism who lived and worked in Apolda .

background

The Apolda Stolpersteine ​​were initiated by the Prager-Haus Apolda eV association in May 2008. The project is supported by the city of Apolda.

By November 2019, 77 stumbling blocks had been laid in Apolda. The first three stones were set in the sidewalk opposite the Prague House at Bernhard-Prager-Gasse 8 for Jewish citizens on May 7, 2008. In accordance with Demnig's concept, Apolda commemorates all victims of fascism: those persecuted and murdered for political, religious and racist motives. Further relocations followed in 2009, 2010, 2011, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018. The most recent relocation took place on November 27, 2019.

'ACTION T4'
Marie was born in Erlangen, but then grew up in Apolda because her father found a job as a knitter here. She attended school with success and after finishing school went to a textile factory as a seamstress. Because she got into trouble there, she looked for a new job at the Sophienkrankenhaus Weimar. She was brought home two days later because she spoke confusedly and was diagnosed with hebephrenia, a form of schizophrenia in adolescence. In the following years there was a constant martyrdom of treatment, because her life was constantly changing from home and the Jena mental hospital. The further fate of Marie: On September 20, 1940, she and other patients from Blankenhain were transferred to the Zschadrass state hospital in Saxony. For the patients, however, this was only an "interim storage facility" to take them to the Sonnenstein sanatorium if necessary, to kill them there with carbon monoxide. For Marie the time had come on November 27, 1940. She was brought to Sonnenstein with about 30 other fellow sufferers and killed that day. The godmother of the stone is Marion Schneider, Auerstedt.

ACTION T4
Samuel was the son of a Jewish cattle dealer from Bibra near Meiningen, who was accepted into the Apoldaer Carolinenheim in 1923 because of “nonsense”. In 1935 he left the home and was taken in by relatives in Walldorf. This couple was deported to Belzyce in 1942, but without Samuel, who at that time must have been in another institution. According to Yad Vashem, he was allegedly killed in the Pirna-Sonnenstein killing center, which cannot be proven there, so it should therefore be a forgery of the place of death that was common at the time. The research is still pending. The stone's godfather is André Schubart from Erfurt.

Heinz was the youngest of three sons of the cigar dealer and woolen goods manufacturer Robert Peller and his non-Jewish wife Anna, born Maschke. He learned the trade and worked in his father's business until it was closed after the November pogrom in 1939. In the spring of 1942 he was arrested by the Gestapo - possibly because of contact with an “Aryan” woman. On March 6, 1942, he was sent to the Buchenwald concentration camp as a police prisoner. When Buchenwald was to be made “Jew-free”, he was deported to Auschwitz in a transport of 405 Jews. After two months of forced labor in Auschwitz III-Monowitz, he fell seriously ill and was singled out to be killed. On December 19, 1942 (not 1943, as stated on the stone) he was killed by medic Josef Klehr with a phenol injection in the heart. Godmother of the stone is the regional church community in Apolda.
