The former Cecilienplatz was renamed Geschwister-Stock-Platz in 1995 and has since been dedicated to the memory of two Jewish children murdered in the Shoah. The day care center and the two bus stops also bear their names. Rosel and Josef Stock are representative of the victims of National Socialism from Wiesbaden. The Stock siblings were both born here, Josef on October 28, 1934, his sister Rosel on July 14, 1937.

The parents Johanna and James Stock lived with their children in very poor conditions, first at Jahnstraße 24, from 1937 at Ellenbogengasse 11, then in a cramped backyard apartment at Walramstraße 31. On October 25, 1939, the family was assigned to a barrack in the Mühltal homeless settlement. In 1940, they were forced to move into the "Jews' house" at Ludwigstraße 3. It was so cramped there that one of the Jewish families even had to live in a tool shed in the courtyard. The Stock parents managed to place Josef temporarily in Bertha Pappenheim's Jewish children's home in Neu-Isenburg.

When Rosel was four and Josef seven years old, they were deported together with their parents on June 10, 1942. This was the second large-scale deportation of Jews from Wiesbaden. On May 23 and June 10, over 400 Jews, mostly families with children, were deported to eastern Poland.

The disenfranchisement of the Jewish population in Germany began shortly after the National Socialists came to power in 1933. Many Jews tried to emigrate or escape illegally across the borders. With the beginning of the Second World War, this became almost impossible. In the German-occupied territories of Poland, the Nazis set up ghettos and death camps in which millions of people were tortured and murdered. At least 40 Jewish girls and boys under the age of 14 from Wiesbaden did not survive the Shoah. It is estimated that a total of at least one and a half million Jewish children and young people were murdered.
