On 11 June 2021, following suggestions made by Daniela Epstein in Jerusalem, Gunter Demnig laid eleven stumbling stones in Nuremberg for her ancestors. These included a stone for Erna Meyerstein, who in June 1939 was able to escape to England.

Erna Meyerstein was born on 11 May 1902 in the small town of Artern, which today lies in the north-east of the state of Thuringia. Her parents were the tradesman Matthias Meyerstein and his wife Flora (née Katzenstein).

In January 1936 Erna moved to Nuremberg and worked as an office clerk, having previously lived in Halle an der Saale. Her sisters Clara (mar. Diebach) and Thekla (mar. Heimann) already lived in Nuremberg.

In June 1936 Erna emigrated to London. She later went to live in the USA.
