I came across several "stolpersteins," 4"x4" brass plaques first designed by the artist Gunter Demnig and placed at exactly the last place of an individual's residency – or, sometimes, work – that was freely chosen by the person before they fell victim to Nazi terror, forced euthanasia, eugenics, deportation to a concentration or extermination camp, or escaped persecution by emigration or suicide. A recent count indicates that more than 100,000 stolpersteins have been placed worldwide.
