Destroyed Diversity • @1MEMO 20250912

Portrait pillars of the Monument Foundation (Stiftung Denkmal) participation in the Berlin 2013 theme year ‘Destroyed Diversity’ (Zerstörte Vielfalt) at the Berlin Holocaust Memorial, 7 Sep 2013, Berlin, Germany.

Here the portrait of Werner (1921-1942). Werner from Wedding (Berlin) was in love with his neighbor Dorothea. But he was Jewish. After the passage of the Nuremberg “Racial Laws” in the fall of 1935, relationships between Jews and “Aryans” were strictly forbidden. The two were cautious, but they were betrayed. The accusation: “racial defilement” (Rassenschande)! Werner spent 18 months in the Berlin-Tegel prison, then in “protective custody” in the Sachsenhausen concentration camp. He did not survive the camp (https://www.stiftung-denkmal.de/) .

First Stolperstein | 20240520

First Stolperstein. Installed on 16 Dec 1992 in front of the City Hall in Cologne , Germany.

Over the past 30 years the team of German artist Gunter Demnig installed over 100,000 Stumbling Stones – ‘Stolpersteine’ – across 26 countries in Europe – the world’s largest memorial.

Demnig’s Stolpersteine are small, cobblestone-sized brass memorials for the victims of National Socialism. Set into the pavement of sidewalks in front of the buildings where Nazi victims once lived or worked, they call attention both to the individual victim and the scope of the Nazi war crimes.

The very first Stolperstein, was installed on 16 December 1992 in front of Cologne City Hall , with Heinrich Himmler’s order for the initiation of deportations of all Roma (Gypsies) :

„Auf Befehl des Reichsführers SS vom 16.12.42 – Tgb. Nr. I 2652/42 Ad./RF/V. – sind Zigeunermischlinge, Rom-Zigeuner und nicht deutschblütige Angehörige zigeunerischer Sippen balkanischer Herkunft nach bestimmten Richtlinien auszuwählen und in einer Aktion von wenigen Wochen in ein Konzentrationslager einzuweisen. Dieser Personenkreis wird im nachstehenden kurz als ‚zigeunerische Personen‘ bezeichnet. Die Einweisung erfolgt ohne Rücksicht auf den Mischlingsgrad familienweise in das Konzentrationslager (Zigeunerlager) Auschwitz.“

Jewish Kid Monument | 20210223


Jewish Kid Monument ~
Walking today along the Maas River in Rotterdam , I bumped into this Jewish Children’s Monument, with the names I just learned of 686 Rotterdam’s Jewish children that were deported from here via the dutch transit camp Westerbork to the Nazi death camps Sobibór and Auschwitz-Birkenau of the Third Reich. In 2013 this special monument was unveiled for the murdered kids – only one girl survived – here near the former Loods 24 – the harbor warehouse number 24 , behind that still standing stone fence memorial (1992), were around 15000 Jews were gathered in 1942 and 1943 from Rotterdam city and nearby islands and sent on a journey to death.
