Created by German artist Gunter Demnig, the Stolpersteine, or “stumbling blocks” in German, are the palm-sized memorial plaques that bear the names and fates of Jews and others persecuted by the N***s. They have become a prominent form of Holocaust remembrance in Germany.

The first block was laid in the western city of Cologne in 1992, and today more than 126,000 can be found in over 30 countries across Europe, honoring some of the 6 million Jews and others killed in the Holocaust.

A city council in eastern Germany has halted the installation of memorial plaques honoring Holocaust victims, sparking outrage.

LSP has received a gracious gift of $20,000 to encourage other donors to join our Fall fundraising campaign to support the hiring of an Executive Director for our organization. We are also working towards placing two more commemorative markers in the ground.

Now, we need your help to match this investment in truth-telling, racial healing, and making sure that the stories of those who were victims of racial terror are not forgotten.

This is your opportunity to make a transformational investment in our community, and help us turn one generous gift into a lasting legacy.
