Stolperstein laying in the context of the current exhibition at the Schöneberg Museum

Two stumbling blocks for Zoya Gertrud Aqua Kaufmann und ihren Sohn Hans-Joachim

The fate of black people who were persecuted under National Socialism has so far received little attention. To accompany the current special exhibition " On the trail of the Diek family. Stories of black people in Tempelhof-Schöneberg " in the Schöneberg Museum, a total of six stumbling blocks for black people will be laid over the next few months. They are all connected to the Tempelhof-Schöneberg district.

On Saturday, May 13, 2023, at 12:00 p.m., two stumbling blocks will be laid for Zoya Gertrud Aqua Kaufmann and her son Hans-Joachim at Friedrich-Wilhelm-Straße 8 in Tempelhof . The two lived there in the apartment of Hans-Joachim's father Hans von Hellfeld before they had to flee to Prague due to persecution. In the winter of 1944, however, Zoya was denounced there and imprisoned with her three-year-old son in Pancrác prison. May 13 marks the day of her liberation in 1945.
