Lina Einstein
Lina Einstein’s Stolperstein lies in Ulm, a small brass memorial set into the pavement at a former residence. It recalls a local woman born in 1875, whose life connected telephone work with the history of Ulm’s Jewish community.
Lina worked as a telephone operator at Wieland Werke and was a cousin of Albert Einstein. In 1942, the Nazi regime deported her to Theresienstadt and later to Treblinka, where she was murdered. Ulm contains many Stolpersteine, each marking an individual life affected by the Holocaust and Nazi persecution.
The plaque belongs to an artist Gunter Demnig project that places brass memorials before victims’ last known homes. Its most striking detail is its scale: one small stone carries Lina’s name into the everyday pavement of Ulm.
