“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.
