Website STOLPERSTEINE:
"The artist Gunter Demnig commemorates the victims of the Nazi era by placing brass memorial plaques in the pavement in front of their last self-chosen place of residence. Stolpersteine are now in 1265 municipalities in Germany and in twenty-one countries in Europe.
Gunter Demnig cites the Talmud saying that "a person is only forgotten when his or her name is forgotten". The Stolpersteine in front of the buildings bring back to memory the people who once lived here. Almost every “stone” begins with HERE LIVED… One “stone”. One name. One person. "
For 120 euros, anyone can sponsor the manufacture and installation of a STOLPERSTEIN.
