I am considering requesting a Stolperstein (a stumbling stone) for the members of the David Baumann family. This project put on by a European artist commemorates Holocaust victims by setting stones with their names and dates usually in front of their last residence. Throughout Europe and across the world. The name itself even as an antisemitic background. When someone stumbled on a cobblestone, there must be a Jew buried there. This man, Gunther Deming installs all of them and there is somebody else who makes them all by hand. As of 2014, there were 40,000 installed so many more know.
If you want one for Amsterdam, there's a wait of 4 years.
Still.
