A poignant trio this Thursday. These stolpersteine (literally: stumbling stones) can be found in front of apartment or business houses were people used to live before they were deported and killed by the Nazi regime. I came upon these particular three in a town to the south of ours, as part of a remembrance campaign on 9 November, 83 years after the November pogroms in Germany. The English Wikipedia still calls it “Kristallnacht” (or “night of broken glass”), a term no longer used in Germany as it is considered a euphemism that does not do justice to the events.
Nevertheless, if you are interested in stolpersteine wikipedia is a good start to get information.

In Weinheim (und anderen Städten) standen im Bürgerpark und an einigen Stolpersteinen Koffer.

I didn’t know Kristallnacht wasn’t used any more. But I agree, it does prettify an ugly period..

I love these posts when people share information about the history of their culture and countries. I too did not know that Kristallnacht was no longer used. A beautiful tribute with the trio of roses and trio of Stolpersteine. Thank you.
