Stumbling Stone Piazza San Cosimato 40

This small brass plaque (Stolperstein or stumbling stone), placed on January 13, 2020, commemorates:

AMADEO SERMONETA (born 1903, arrested on 31-3-1944, deported to Auschwitz, murdered in Flossenburg on 22-3-1945),

"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 pavement in front of a residence of (mostly Jewish) victims who were murdered by the Nazis. Each plaque is engraved with the victim’s name, date of birth, and place (mostly a concentration camp) and date of death. 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."
