Stumbling Stones Strada Giordano Cavestro 8a

These brass plaques (Stolpersteine or stumbling stones), placed on January 27, 2024, commemorate:
* LUIGI LONGHI (born 1925, arrested on August 21, 1944, deported to Dachau, murdered on March 7, 1945 in Überlingen)
* GAUDENZIO ANSELMO (born 1926, arrested on August 21, 1944, deported to Dachau, murdered on March 7, 1945)

These Stolpersteine lie here for resistance fighters who were persecuted, deported, and murdered during World War II.

"Stolpersteine” is an art project for Europe by Gunter Demnig to commemorate victims of National Socialism (Nazism). Stolpersteine (stumbling stones) are small, 10x10cm brass plaques placed in the sidewalk in front of the last voluntary residence of (usually Jewish) victims of the Nazis. Each plaque is provided with the victim’s, date of birth, and fate. By doing this, Gunter Demnig gives an individual memorial to each victim. One stone, one name, one person. He cites the Talmud: “A human being is forgotten only when his or her name is forgotten.”
