Stolperstein für die Liebenden Hertha und Simon Parnass

This memorial stone is a brass plaque set flush into the pavement, engraved with the names and key biographical information of Hertha and Simon Parnass. It marks the location of their former home in this Hamburg neighborhood.

Hertha and Simon Parnass lived in Hamburg before being forced to leave in 1938. They were deported to Poland and later murdered at Treblinka concentration camp in 1942.

This memorial belongs to a network of plaques across Europe honoring people persecuted during the Nazi era. Visitors can connect with the story of a married couple whose lives were ended by this dark period.

The plaque sits on the pavement in front of the family's former residence and is straightforward to locate with the address. It helps to look down while walking through the neighborhood to spot this and other similar memorials.

The couple's daughter, Peggy Parnass, placed a third stone inscribed with 'The Lovers' next to her parents' individual plaques. This additional memorial honors the bond between them in a deeply personal way.
