On Wednesday, October 4, 2023, not only pavement was laid in Bautzen. Memories were awakened, hearts were touched and a sign against forgetting was set. The Cologne artist Gunter Demnig, the initiator of the Europe-wide Stolperstein project, visited the city to lay three of these special memorial stones.
A community project that moves
The driving force behind the new Stolpersteine is Dr. Monika Schöne. She became aware of the project through an event at the Bautzen Museum and did not hesitate to offer her support. Together with students from the Bischofswerda high school, she delved deep into the tragic history of the Hamburger family and presented a moving lecture that left no listener untouched.
