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
