Stumbling Stones Deported Carabinieri Roma

Stumbling Stones for 12 deported Carabinieri from Rome. The stones are in front of the Comando Scuola Allievi Carabinieri Roma.
The text on the top (13th) stone is freely translated:
From here they were deported to Germany, Austria and ion.Poland.
Some wounded, killed, mistreated or died due to illness or starvation.

The small brass plaques of 10 by 10 cm, in the pavement in front of houses of which the (mostly Jewish) residents were persecuted and mostly murdered by the National-Socialists, mention the name, date of birth and place (mostly a concentration camp) and date of death.

In many other cities and villages, mainly in Germany but also in other European countries, the memorials also can be found. There are already many thousands of these plaques and their number is still counting. Almost all Stolpersteine are laid by the German artist himself, Gunter Demnig.
