A completed Stolperstein ('stumbling block' in German) for teacher Hersh Kalmanovitch, born in 1887 and killed in 1941, to be shipped to and installed in Alytus, Lithuania, is seen in sculptor Michael Friedrichs-Friedlaender's workshop where the plaques are produced, in Berlin, Germany, on August 14, 2018. The Stolperstein project, in which plaques are put in front of the homes or workplaces of the Holocaust victims that they commemorate, was started by artist Gunter Demnig in 1995. There are over 60,000 "stones" installed in over 1,200 towns and cities throughout Europe as means of both honoring the victims as well as reminding locals and visitors of a neighborhood and country's history, as pedestrians who step across the commemorative plaques live their own lives. The work's geographically wide breadth means it is considered to be the world's largest memorial. Photographer: Adam Berry
