The Wernigerode stone gives Martha a disputed 1944 ending

This photograph shows the Stolperstein laid for Martha Reichenbach at Breite Straße 7 on 14 April 2009. Its inscription reads “tot 1944 bei Bombenangriff.” The Gestapo and Berlin deportation file instead places her in the 33rd Osttransport of 3 March 1943, classed for Auschwitz; the stone is a local memorial inscription, not evidence of her last hour or registration on arrival.
