Stolpersteine Project Commemorates Victims Of The Holocaust

HAMBURG, GERMANY - AUGUST 13: Artist Gunter Demnig lays 'Stolpersteine' memorial cobblestones outside a residence on August 13, 2012 in Hamburg, Germany. Each stone has a brass plaque commemorating a victim of the Holocaust and Demnig installs the stones at the front entrance of the residence where the victim last lived before being deported by the Nazis. Since beginning the project in 1995 Demnig has installed over 30,000 stones all across Europe at the request of families of victims or local authorities. Each stone is made by hand by a team of three artisans at a studio in Berlin. Stolpersteine literally translates to 'stumbling stones'. (Photo by Patrick Lux/Getty Images)
