‘Stolpersteine’ is an art project in Europe by Gunter Demnig commemorating 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 of the Nazis. Each plaque bears the victim's name, year of birth and their fate. 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.’
