A powerful memorial to Holocaust victims, Stolpersteins are markers placed outside the residences of people who were deported and executed.  In our neighborhood in Prenzlauerberg these markers are on almost every block.  It is frightening to be so close to this awful history, yet at the same time it is empowering to be living in the same place.  We are still here joining, with the voices of the past.

Last Friday we passed a ceremony as new plaques were laid down.  It’s good to see that more people are being remembered.
