In Frankfurt, Seligmann Stern is a brass Stolperstein set into the pavement at his former home. The memorial commemorates a Jewish resident of Frankfurt. Seligmann Stern was born in Wachenbuchen in 1872 and lived with his wife, Selma, and daughter Elfriede. Their ground-floor apartment stood at Kantstraße 6. The family’s story records the effects of Nazi persecution, including Seligmann’s death in his apartment in 1941. His grave lies in Frankfurt’s New Jewish Cemetery on Eckenheimer Landstraße. Selma was deported from Frankfurt to Theresienstadt in 1942, where she died in 1944. Elfriede escaped to Palestine in 1935. She travelled with her husband, Walter Knopp, leaving a documented family story behind in Frankfurt. Stolpersteine connect a pavement location with people persecuted under Nazism. The memorial honours Seligmann, Selma and Elfriede Stern through a local place of remembrance. The stones were laid here in 2012. The location is recorded as wheelchair accessible.
