Urge to all the Lords' residents!
In Oberhausen, Germany, a significant community event is approaching. The Memorial Hall, kitev, and AG 60 plus have joined forces to organize a Stumbling Stone Cleaning Action, an initiative aimed at remembering victims of the National Socialist regime.
From April 28 to May 10, 2025, individuals, groups, and organisations are invited to participate in the cleaning of the Stumbling Stones, small brass plaques embedded into sidewalks as memorials for victims of Nazi persecution. This event is open to all, including school classes, associations, communities, political parties, and initiatives.
The concluding event of the cleaning action will take place at kitev's "Empty Space" in the main train station, Willy-Brandt-Platz 1, on May 10, 2025, at 1 pm. This event will include a showing of the film from the first Stumbling Stone laying ceremony in Oberhausen from 2008 and a display of photos taken during the cleaning action. Light refreshments and drinks will be provided.
The aim of this action is to remember all population groups persecuted, oppressed, and murdered by the National Socialists. This includes victims of euthanasia, political opponents, resistance fighters, Sinti and Roma, Jewish people, Jehovah's Witnesses, trade unionists, journalists, writers, and more.
