Heinrich Herbstmann,
commemoration stone March 2021
Heinrich (Henri) Herbstmann
*17.03.1911 in Karlsruhe
Heinrich was nine weeks old when the family arrived in Fulda and later lived at Kanalstrasse 13. In November 1932 Heinrich Herbstmann moved first to Frankfurt and later to France.
At first he lived in Vichy with his wife and children, but on July 31, 1944, he was deported from the Drancy assembly camp to Auschwitz and murdered.
As a group, we would like to remember the murdered people in particular on their birthdays, starting in February. 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!
