"Stolpersteine" is an art project in Europe by Gunter Demnig to commemorate victims of National Socialism (Nazism).
Stolpersteine (Stumbling Stones) are small, 10x10cm brass plaques placed in the pavement in front of the last voluntary residence or sometimes the hiding address of (mostly Jewish) victims murdered by the Nazis. Each plaque is stamped with the victim's name, date of birth, and place (often a Concentration Camp) and date of death. In this way, Gunter Demnig gives an individual memorial to each victim. One stone, one name, one person. He quotes the Talmud: "A person is forgotten only when his or her name is forgotten."

Borne was the first place in the Netherlands where Stolpersteine were laid. This happened on 29-11-2007
