Stumbling Stones NRW in Marsberg
Historical site | Diverse sights
"Stolpersteine NRW" is a project by Westdeutscher Rundfunk (WDR). It provides innovative, interactive access to the topic of National Socialism via an app and website. The starting point is Gunter Demnig's Stolpersteine project: since the mid-1990s, he and delegates have been laying small brass memorial plaques in Europe's streets. Each stone commemorates a person who was persecuted, deported, murdered or driven to suicide by the National Socialist regime.
