It all started with our history teacher, Mr. Arias, who came to us in mid-2018 and familiarized us with biographies of victims from the Nazi era. At first, we thought to ourselves: What do we have to do with it? But we were soon able to answer the question to ourselves.
First of all, let us illustrate what Stolpersteine are. Stolpersteine are small metal plates that are set into the pavement and about which one should "stumble" (German “stolpern”) in the truest sense of the word. They are about the size of a palm and are equipped with information, such as the name and year of birth of victims of the Nazi era. The stones are located at the former place of residence of persons persecuted by the Nazis.
Now some of these Stolpersteine have been digitized. This means that in addition to the already existing basic data, one can also call up life stories, pictures and audio files about the persons on the internet. The audio files are not only available in one language. The files can be listened to in selected languages, such as Italian, English or Russian.
This is a picture of our school. It was done at the end of January 2019 when it snowed.
