Karl Strauss, commemoration stone April 2021
Karl Strauss
*22.04.1876 in Grebenau
Karl Strauss moved with his wife Minna from Bad Salzschlirf to Fulda on February 23, 1938 and live at Peterstor 15.
On November 10, 1938, he was arrested during Crystal Night and deported to Buchenwald. After a few weeks he was released from the concentration camp.
On May 31, 1942 he was deported from Fulda to Sobibor and murdered upon his arrival on June 3, 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!
