Summary

[edit]
Description Defense Contract Management Agency and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Europe District volunteers honor local Holocaust victims by cleaning individual memorials and attending the installation of a new Stolperstein or "stumble stone" for Dr. Stein May 2, 2012 in Wiesbaden, Germany. The stumbling stones, shiny brass plaques, are placed in the sidewalk throughout Wiesbaden and across Europe to memorialize the millions of Jews, gays, resistance fighters and Gypsies who perished between 1933 and 1945. The stones are installed in front of homes of the victims, giving back a small piece of their identity. There are 468 stumbling stones in Wiesbaden and more than 25,000 worldwide. Today, DCMA and USACE volunteers witnessed the installation of Dr. Albert Stein’s stone in front of the building where he lived with his family at 8 Alexander Street in Wiesbaden. Dr. Stein, like every victim, has a story. He was an orthopedic surgeon here, married Elsa Winter, a protestant and was the father of four daughters. Dr. Stein, living in a so called mixed marriage, Jewish-Protestant, was not deported in the initial 1942 push. In March 1943, he was arrested by the Gestapo and later deported to Auschwitz where he was murdered. The stumbling stone artist, Gunter Demning said, “every personal stone is also meant as a symbol for the entirety of all victims.” (U.S. Army Corps of Engineers by Jennifer Aldridge)
