The Stumbling Stones (Stolpersteine) created by Gunter Demnig are intended to commemorate victims of the Nazi dictatorship. The stones were laid in the street in front of their former homes. The project, launched in 1996, is considered the largest decentralized memorial in the world and now counts more than 100,000 stones in 31 European countries. EPA/CHRISTOPHER NEUNDORF
