Isfried Wetzlar, commemoration stone March 2021
Isfried Wetzlar
*05.03.1886 in Fulda
At the age of 16, Isfried Wetzlar moved from Fulda to Kassel. Later his residence was at Bahnhofstrasse 17 in Gießen.
From there he was brought to Buchenwald for the first time in June 1938. His transfer to Sachsenhausen took place on an unknown date. Isfried Wetzlar was transferred to Dachau on July 12, 1940. On July 12, 1941, he returned to Buchenwald and was murdered on July 23, 1941.
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!
