On Tuesday, January 14th, at Porta San Marco in Siena, via della Diana, there was an event in which Ms. Tickle, Ms. Rosati, and I participated to honor the individuals who were sent to the concentration camps in Auschwitz.
This event was held in memory of those who were taken to the concentration camps. The school and several students were invited to attend the ceremony.
This image shows an example of one of the stones placed in front of the people's houses who got taken away.
What are the Stumbling stones?
The idea of stumbling stones was started by the German artist Gunther Denmig.
Passers-by "stumble" over the small monument in the pavement by accident and get carried along with that tradition of not forgetting. The Stumbling Stones remind us of all those individual victims of the Nazi regime, during the Second World War.
We saw many different stones, and before the people put them in, a family member would speak; if that member was unavailable, someone else would speak for the person.
Interview with Ms. Rosati
Why do you think it was important to participate in this event?
" I think it was important to participate because it can give us the feeling of the people or the relatives of the people who experienced, we listened to some people talk about the experience of their grandparents as it is important to keep the memory because there is a future present and past and this is a very important past to remember to keep the memory and the feeling of them."
