On Stumbling
Over stumbling stones?
No, no one stubs their toe against them.
They're embedded so evenly into the paving.
But the names they carry, the letters and numbers, Are stamped on our conscience;
Are stamped on our conscience;
"born, deported, murdered"
And the places
Łódź, Minsk, Riga, Theresienstadt,
Auschwitz, Chelmno, Majdanek, Sobibor, Treblinka ..."
We look for you
Whose names are written in the archives
and the heavens.
We find you in places of terror and persecution.
We recognise you in your children and grandchildren.
The stones speak of you,
every day.
You are not forgotten.
Inge Grolle

Volksdorf leuchtet
Die Walddörfer gedenken
In der Nacht zum 9. November 1938 verschleppten und ermordeten Nationalsozialisten Jüdinnen und Juden.
Zum Gedenken an unsere "verschwundenen" Nachbarinnen und Nachbarn beleuchten wir ihre Stolpersteine seit 2019 am 9. November.
Ursula Pietsch, Klaus Pietsch, Dr. Eva Lindemann, Heike von Borstel, Beate Wiese und Dr. Martin Schröter
