The next day, we had the opportunity to visit the auxiliary stolpersteine shop in Amsterdam. Previously they had all been built in Germany. But the Netherlands group were able to build a little workshop in the garden of the Goethe Insitut at one of the tony addresses in Amsterdam (we learned that from our canal cruise the next day). The 16th century building all face directly onto the canal in the concentric canals in central Amsterdams. Who knew that they had gardens in back? Because the Goethe Institut supports the idea, they were able to build a little workshop and build the stolpersteine right there. I'm sure that's where ours were made. Alexander showed us around and demonstrated how they built them. To our delight! It was a great treat!
