commemoration stone April 2021
Karolina Lina Hess, née Wimpfheimer
*03.04.1889 in Ittlingen
Karolina Hess moved to Fulda in 1920, shortly after two children were born and the family lived at Loeherstrasse 23.
On December 8, 1941 Lina Hess was deported from Fulda to Riga where she was murdered on July 27, 1944.
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!
