“Stones that speak”
The Holocaust is one of the most horrific incidents in history. In 1992, German painter Gunter Demnig began installing brass plaques in pavements, each commemorating one victim of Hitler’s massacre, in what is called the Stolpersteine or “stumbling stones” project. Stolpersteine consists of over 67,000 plaques and is now spread across 22 countries, including Germany, Austria, Poland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Hungary, the Czech Republic, and Norway.
In keeping with IWA’s Next Gen initiative this year, we proudly present Radhika Santhanam the talented daughter of our member Kausalya Santhanam addressing us on this sensitive, heartwarming project.
Radhika Santhanam, Assistant Editor of The Hindu, was selected to go on the India-Germany Media Ambassadors programme to Germany last year where she did a study of the ongoing Stolpersteine project through interviews with victims’ families, artist Demnig, and officials.“Never again” is the warning that resounds in Germany……. 
Be there to listen to this unique story of one man’s determination to keep
memories alive.
