There were many groups that fell victim to this inhumane NS Regime: Jews, Roma and Sinti, Germans with mental and physical disabilities, Poles and Russians as subhumans, actual and suspected political opponents, members of resistance groups, Catholic and Protestant priests and believers, communists, Jehovah's Witnesses, homosexual men and people who were considered “anti-social”. They were among the hundreds of thousands of victims imprisoned and killed in concentration camps and other facilities. They died of hunger, disease, exhaustion, mistreatment or were deliberately executed.
The "Stolpersteine" remember these victims, They tell the stories of the individual fates of these people and call them by their names.
