Stolpersteine are small brass plaques placed in the pavement in front of the last voluntary residence of (mostly Jewish) victims who were murdered by the Nazis. Each is engraved with the victim’s name, date of birth and place (mostly a concentration camp) and date of death.

Stolpersteine memorials also can be found in many other German cities. There are already many thousands of these plaques and their number is still growing. Almost all Stolpersteine are laid by the German artist himself, Gunter Demnig.
