Arthur Blumenthal, commemoration stone March 2021
Arthur Blumenthal
*30.03.1893 in Fulda
Arthur Blumenthal lived with his parents and siblings in Mittelstrasse 42.
On July 11th, 1924 he left Fulda and moved to Frankfurt. In 1938 he was imprisoned in Buchenwald for a few weeks and was later deported to Mauthausen at an unknown time. There he was “shot while trying to escape” on July 13, 1942.
As student group, we would like to remember the murdered people in particular on their birthdays, starting in February 2021. With many victims we do not know when they were torn from life, but on a birthday we can think specifically of this one person and show him or her and the families that this person has not been forgotten.
For this reason we label a stone with the name and the birthday. Sometimes we’re even lucky enough to have a photo of the person so we can look into his and her eyes.
We do not forget you!
