Artist Gunter Demnig inscribes cobblestones with the names of people who were killed or disappeared during the Third Reich and then places them in front of the houses they owned or lived in. He has done so in dozens of cities all over Germany, Austria, Hungary, and the Netherlands. There were several of them in the street I used to live in - quite literally, footnotes to my city's history.
