Since 2018, in cooperation with the Jewish Cultural Centre Ljubljana, we are running the project of placing commemorative markings into the pavement, the so-called stumbling stones – Stolpersteine, initiated by German artist Günter Demnig to commemorate holocaust victims.

Demnig cites the Talmud saying that "a person is only forgotten when his or her name is forgotten". The stumbling stones remind us of the people who once lived here. Each "stone" begins with the inscription "Here lived…" One "stone". One name. One person.

We are laying stumbling stones to remember Ljubljana's Jewish citizens who were, due to their descent, taken from their homes to different concentration camps across Europe during World War II. The brass-plated stumbling stones with engraved personal data of individual victims are now placed in over a hundred cities in Europe, among them in Germany, Austria, the Czech Republic and Hungary.

In Ljubljana, there are 61 stumbling stones in 21 locations.
