Stolpersteine on your street

More than 100,000 brass stones lie in pavements across Europe. Each one is set in front of a house and bears the name of a person who lived there and was driven out, deported or murdered by the Nazis. Look them up on the map by name, street or city.

Info

The German artist Gunter Demnig (1947, Berlin) puts memorials on the sidewalk in front of the houses of people who have been driven, deported, murdered or committed to suicide by the Nazis. These Stolpersteine remind of Jews, Sinti and Roma, political prisoners, homosexuals, Jehovah’s witnesses and euthanasia victims, among others. The stones are not only placed in the Netherlands and Belgium but also in Germany, Denmark, France, Hungary, Italy, Luxembourg, Norway, Ukraine, Austria, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovenia and Israel.

New: version 2 of the app

From now on, all Stolpersteine worldwide can be included in the new version 2 of the Stolpersteine app. The current database includes Stolpersteine in many countries in Europe, with more than 100,000 Stolpersteine spread over more than 2,900 cities. You can now integrate Stolpersteine from these countries into your own website. The interactive map is available in 30 languages. Local organizations can now manage their own Stolpersteine in the CMS.

Version 2 of the Stolpersteine app was developed by Kyllian Warmerdam as a graduation project at Fontys ICT in Eindhoven.
