Explanation
The Stolpersteine are small memorial plaques embedded in sidewalks that commemorate the victims of National Socialism. They serve as a symbol of remembrance for those who were persecuted and murdered due to their origin, religion, or political beliefs. This form of remembrance raises awareness of the crimes of National Socialism and emphasizes the importance of tolerance and human rights in today's society.
