Stolpersteine
8th July 2010
There are small sidewalk-affixed plaques in many locations in Berlin, including on my street. Here are some visual examples and here are many more. They sit by the victim’s former home and list the victim’s name, the date he or she was taken away, and date and place he or she was murdered. The word given is the more brutal “murdered” (ermordet), not “killed.”
A great idea. We could do the same in Washington, putting little plaques to memorialize where individual rights were murdered by the government.
