1. Stolperstein. Wikipedia
A Stolperstein (in English "stumbling block") is a ten-centimetre (four-inch) concrete cube bearing a brass plate inscribed with the name and life dates of victims(Submitted on March 22, 2026, by James Hulse of Medina, Texas.)of Nazi extermination or persecution. The Stolpersteine project, initiated by the German artist Gunter Demnig in 1992, aims to commemorate persons at the last place that they chose freely to reside, work or study (with exceptions possible on a case-by-case basis) before they fell victim to Nazi terror, forced euthanasia, eugenics, deportation to a concentration or extermination camp, or escaped persecution by emigration or suicide. As of June 2023, 100,000 Stolpersteine have been laid, making the Stolpersteine project the world's largest decentralized memorial.Photographed by James Hulse, February 26, 20262. Georg Winter Marker

3. Georg Winter (Stolpersteine Nürnberg, in German). Excerpt (in translation):
Georg Winter was born on May 9, 1907, in Nuremberg. He worked as a painter’s assistant and was unemployed for a long time. In Nuremberg he lived with his wife Elise at Hintere Kartäusergasse 42. In 1927 Winter joined the Communist Youth, and in 1929 the Communist Party of Germany (KPD). As a party functionary he served as agitation and propaganda leader in the Old Town district, held training sessions, produced leaflets, and wrote publications.(Submitted on March 23, 2026, by James Hulse of Medina, Texas.)
On June 7, 1933, the Nuremberg Special Court sentenced him to two years in prison because he had distributed communist newspapers. A few months later the Nuremberg Higher Regional Court charged him and four other individuals again after the magazine Rote Altstadt (“Red Old Town”) and printing equipment had been found in their possession. Winter admitted that he had written most of the articles in the magazine and had obtained the equipment used for printing. On November 11, 1933, the Higher Regional Court sentenced him to one year and six months in prison for “preparing to commit high treason.” The total sentence was combined into two years and ten months of imprisonment, to be served in the Nuremberg prison.
