(Text)
The books editorial span is large: Besides informations about the project the main part presents short stories, poems, diary entrys that illuminate the horrors of prosecution, existential deprivations and exile. These are texts by survivors pointing at the millionfold annihilation during the Nazi regime.The final part, dedicated to the performance artist Gunter Demnig, is a reflection of his much discussed, questioned and approved art project Stolpersteine / stumbling stones which the artist himself regards as a decentral monument and thus defines monument anew. It is the idea of the book to give a chance to speak to the people to whom Gunter Demnig has dedicated his work. It wants to fix in our memory poems, stories and reports bearing witness to the Holocaust. Texts can be stumbling stones, too.
