I have added the photos of the Stolpersteine in Berlin I saw in the last week to the photo gallery here.
These Stolpersteine were in memory of: Jeanette Grünberg and Ruth Grünberg (Fehrbelliner Strasse 22); Leo Braun and Selma Braun (Schröderstrasse 2); Dr Martin Happ and Sophie Happ (Chausseestrasse 6).
My first post about Stolpersteine gives more background about these memorials to the victims of National Socialism created by artist Gunter Demnig.
I actually bumped into Gunter Demnig last year when he was “planting” 3 new Stolpersteine in Prenzlauerberg. A small crowd of people formed and watched him while he was working when 2 drunk Russian-Germans started hurling abuse at him. thankfully someone had the guts to chase them away. he was cool as a cucumber throughout the whole thing though.
I would love to see him at work. He’s probably been in that situation where people don’t appreciate what he’s doing a few times I guess – takes guts to keep doing it!
