List of stumbling blocks in Illingen

Stolperstein by Adolf Israel Kahn in Illingen

This list of stumbling blocks in Illingen contains the stumbling blocks that were laid by Gunter Demnig in Illingen 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 Illingen. The concrete blocks with a size of width 96 mm × depth 96 cm × height 100 mm with a brass plaque are embedded in the sidewalk in front of the houses in which the victims once lived. The inscription on the plaque gives information about their name, age and fate. The stumbling blocks are intended to counteract the oblivion of the victims of the National Socialist tyranny. On November 19, 2007, the first Stolpersteine in Saarland were laid in Illingen. The initiative came from two students. Rosa Herzog's stumbling block was laid on March 9, 2010, and the Michel family's stumbling block on February 23, 2014. Another 19 stumbling blocks were laid on April 15, 2019. The day before, Gunter Demnig gave a lecture on his Stolperstein project in the Illingen town hall. The following 32 stumbling blocks have currently been laid in Illingen:

Ludwig Lazar	at Hauptstrasse 51	50190415 ♠April 15, 2019	Ludwig Lazar and his wife Bertha, nee Salmon, lived in Illingen with their three children Ruth, Günther and Kurt. In early 1936 the Illingen family had to leave and found refuge in Nyons / France. The fourth child Fancine was born there in 1939. Werner Strauss, a nephew of Ludwig Lazar, was also sent to Nyons by his parents because of the threatening situation in Germany. Bertha Lazar, along with her four children and Werner Strauss, were denounced as Jews and arrested by the Gestapo on the night of January 20-21, 1944. On January 28, 1944, the group was taken from Montluc prison in Lyon to Drancy near Paris. On February 3, 1944, they were all deported to Poland in convoy No. 67 to the Auschwitz extermination camp and were probably murdered on February 8, 199. On June 23, 1944, they were reported as "deceased". Ludwig Lazar evaded arrest by the Gestapo. Assuming that the Gestapo was only looking for him, he hid in the closet and initially survived. In the hope of finding his family again, he placed an advertisement after the war. After Ludwig Lazar learned of the fate of his family and his nephew on September 12, 1963, he committed suicide by poisoning himself with cooking gas.

Simon Levy	Hauptstrasse / corner Eisenbahnstrasse	50190415 ♠April 15, 2019	Simon Levy and Bella Levy, née Lazar, and their children Elsbeth, Marga, Richard, Herbert and Lotte left Illingen in 1936 and moved to Luxembourg. After a year they were deported to France, where they found refuge in Nyons. After the capitulation of France, the members of the family were repeatedly imprisoned in French internment camps. As a result, the family separated and went into hiding under false names. With the help of brave citizens, who were later awarded the honorary title of Righteous Among the Nations , the family was able to escape deportation. The rescuers include the Congregation of the Little Sisters of the Poor, the Gardere family, and the priest Exbrayat.
