This morning I had an early appointment with a friend. He was stuck in traffic, and while having a smoke and waiting for him I took a closer look at a brass plaque embedded in the sidewalk. I’ve seen these all over Hamburg a million times, but like most things on the sidewalk, I’ve always just stepped on or over them and rarely stop to examine one.
The inscription reads:
Here lived / JULIUS COHN / Born 1886 / Deported 1941 / Murdered / Minsk
