Stumbling blocks in Trier: Memory of Wally Gross and Helena Meyer

Trier, Deutschland - A moving sign was set in Trier: Stumbling blocks were laid for the two Jewish women Wally Gross and Helena Meyer. These small but important memorial stones are reminiscent of the victims of National Socialism and stand for the unforgettable fates behind the names. The ceremony took place in an emotional framework, in which numerous relatives and interested parties came together to honor the memory of the two women.

Wally Gross, who lived in Trier in the 1940s, and Helena Meyer, who also came from the region, were persecuted and murdered during the Holocaust. Her stories are part of the dark history of Germany, and the stumbling blocks should not only remind you of your fate, but also set a sign against forgetting. This initiative is part of a larger project that is carried out in many cities to keep the memory of the victims alive.

a strong sign of memory

The laying of the stumbling blocks took place in the presence of family members and citizens who are committed to dealing with history. The stones were placed in the places where the women once lived and symbolize the connection between past and the present. Such actions are of great importance to keep the memory of the persecuted and not to be forgotten the teachings from history.

The stumbling blocks are not only a memorial, but also a call to tolerance and respect for everyone, regardless of their origin or religion. In times when anti -Semitism and discrimination increase again, it is more important than ever to preserve such memories and actively fight against forgetting.
