#stolpersteineputzenOS in memory of November 9th
The Cologne artist Gunter Demnig commemorates with the art project STOLPERSTEINE in Europe the victims of the NS era. A brass plaque is set into the sidewalk in front of their last self-chosen place of residence or work. In the meantime, “Stumbling Stones” have been laid in 1265 municipalities in Germany and in 21 European countries. In Osnabrueck, there are a total of 296 brass plaques on the sidewalks of the “City of Peace”.
Today, the anniversary of the 1938 Pogrom Night, “die Osnabrücker VIELEN” want to commemorate the victims of the NS regime with the action #stolpersteineputzenOS. The EMAF is part of “die Osnabrücker VIELEN” and has participated in the action.
“Die Osnabrücker VIELEN” are cultural creators and institutions from the city and district of Osnabrück who have declared themselves in favor of tolerance and artistic freedom and show solidarity with actors in the cultural scene who are attacked or questioned by right-wing populist and right-wing extremist positions.
