Stolpersteine, or stumbling stones, shine between cobblestones in a sidewalk along Rosenthaler Strasse
in Berlin, Germany. The brass-covered stones, less than four-inches square, commemorate victims of Nazi
extermination or persecution. The Stolpersteine project was initiated in 1992 by German artist Gunter Demnig.
More than 75,000 stones have been placed throughout Europe. Stolpersteine are most often installed in front
of the last home which the victim had chosen freely but sometimes are in front of their place of work.
