Completed Stolpersteine ('stumbling blocks' in German) with notes indicating the towns in Lithuania and Germany to which they are to be shipped for installation are 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
