Stolpersteine

I first learned about Stolpersteine in Rome in 2018. These ten-centimeter square brass plaques are markers located on the ground. They are incredibly easy-to-miss, and are memorials indicating the location where a Jew was forcibly removed from their home during the Holocaust.

Since 2018, I have seen Stolpersteine in France, Belgium, and now the Netherlands. I always pause and read each one to honor the men, women, and children recognized on the plaque.
