Stolpersteine

Walking along german city streets, you might find some obstacles on the pavewalks: Stolpersteine. Glittering stones in front of houses, small, with a name, and two dates. They tell you facts that remained from people who lived here once, and were killed by the german nazis.
Since May 20th, we have seven stolpersteine in Crellestraße, too. Neighbours had collected informations about victims who had lived in the then called Bahnstraße, a small center of workers and communists movement.
Today people from my street commemorated their former neighbours with speeches, readings and flowers. They are not forgotten!
