until International Holocaust Remembrance Day

Lay a stone, to remember.

Many Jewish visitors place a small stone on a grave or memorial to show that someone has come and that the person is remembered. A stone lasts where flowers fade. Source: My Jewish Learning

Counting the stones…

“First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.”

— Martin Niemöller

A path of plain stones. Each one stands for a person. Walk over them slowly.

Each step brings one short line of the history, in the order it happened, and a picture of a place or a thing left behind. The walk fills the screen.
