Ludwig Hess, commemoration stone March 2021
Ludwig Hess
*06.03.1907 in Buer
After Ludwig Hess moved to Fulda in 1932, he married Rida Hess from Fulda in 1934 and lived at Mittelstrasse 27.
On November 10, 1938, he was arrested during Kristallnacht and deported to Buchenwald. After a few weeks he was released from the concentration camp. On December 8th, 1941 he, his wife and three small children were deported from Fulda to Riga and murdered.
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!
