Stolpersteine (Stumbling stones)

With 'Stolpersteine' - a project by the German artist Gunter Demnig - we commemorate the victims of the Nazi regime in World War II. In Venlo, you will find a lasting reminder of the victims of Nazi terror in the places where they lived.

Do you come across a stumbling stone? Then pause for a moment, bow your head, and softly say the name on the Stolperstein. As long as their names are repeated, they live on. Someone is never truly gone as long as their name is spoken.

Venlo thats knows and never forgets...
