Stumbling blocks
From stumbling
The stumbling blocks?
No, no one will trip up on them
They are planted at ground level in the pavement
But the names on them and the characters
Stamped on our conscience:
“born, deported, murdered”
And the places:
“Łódź, Minsk, Riga, Theresienstadt,
Auschwitz, Chelmno, Majdanek, Sobibor, Treblinka…”
We are looking for you,
whose names are written in the archives and in heaven.
We give you,
in places of fear and persecution,
we recognize you
in your children and grandchildren.
The stones speak of you,
every day.
You are not forgotten.

Born 1931, German historian
We would like to introduce you to a completely different kind of project.
In May of this year, for the first time, in a “fictional encounter” as part of a Stolperstein laying ceremony, we took on the roles of two survivors who were able to escape and are now returning to their former hometown.
We ask for fictitious encounters between people who have fled Germany and are visiting their former hometown – what memories emerge in them, what thoughts and feelings emerge…?
