With this initiative, the city not only wants to pay tribute to the victims of the Nazi regime, but also literally make their story visible in the streets. The so -called Stolpersteine, designed by the German artist Gunter Demnig, recalls people who were deported, murdered or driven to suicide. The small stones invite passers -by to reflect on the life behind each name.
There are now more than 100,000 stumbling stones in Europe. Since this weekend also in Nieuwpoort.
