Stumbling blocks (Stolpersteine)

Stolpersteine consist of 10 cm x 10 cm x 10 cm concrete blocks on which a brass plate is mounted on the top. The name of the victim is written on the brass plate and is embedded in the ground in front of the former home. The victim is given an identity through the naming and the Stolperstein draws attention to his fate.Initiator is Günter Demnig, who has so far laid more than 80,000 Stolpersteine in over 1200 German cities and towns. In 2005, he was awarded the Federal Cross of Merit for his project.
