Stolperstein

About This Movie

It meanders through the streets where these small memorials are placed, each stone telling a story from the past, connecting us to historical narratives in a very intimate way. The pacing is reflective, allowing the viewer to absorb the weight of each individual's story represented by these stones. The atmosphere is somber yet hopeful, with an emphasis on memory and recognition. It stands out for its grassroots approach, involving local communities in the remembrance process.
