Thousands of Stolpersteine, literally stumbling stones, are found in central Europe. They are a reminder of missing or killed people during the Nazi era. These particular five in Ladenburg are of the family Kaufmann who were deported to Gurs in France, where Mathilde Kaufmann died. The other four family members, Meta, Luise, Julie, and Sally were murdered in Auschwitz.

I’ve seen these in Poland, but not – so far – elsewhere. Poignant reminders.

Gunter Demnig, who started this project in 1992, is a German artist. [I can’t get myself to call it an art installation but that is what these stones are, of course.] He kept going and now there are some in 30 European countries. In order to keep track of all of them he had the concept patented. In March the 100,000th Stolperstein was laid in Nürnberg. BTW: Not even 10% of the victims who died in concentration camps.

That I can believe. Even 10% makes a thought-provoking impact.
