Stumbling Stones Via Arenula 83

These small brass plaques (Stolpersteine or stumbling stones) commemorate:

-ALFREDO DONATO DI NOLA (born 1878, arrested on 16-10-1943, deported to Auschwitz, murdered on 23-10-1943)
- LIVIA DELLA SETA (born 1886, arrested on 16-10-1943, deported to Auschwitz, murdered on 23-10-1943)

"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."
