Stolpersteine


So what is exactly Stolpersteine, i found out about what they were exactly, on the Third Reich tour tour that we went on, and when we came up to our last stop of the tour which was within the Jewish Quarter of Berlin,

So these little gold plaques which can also be found all over Germany, as well as many other places within Europe as well.


What do they say on them?

Will each one has the name of someone who lived in the building or house that they are placed in front of if there is proof that they lived there,  also written  on them, is the date they were born, when and where they got deported, how and when they had died.










I think that this is actually such a wonderful idea that has been created
Here is a Website the gives a bit more information about them,

this one is within Berlin
