A "Stolperstein", ready to be set into the pavement in front of a residential house in Salzburg city. The plaque carries the name and life data of a woman who, supposedly mentally ill was deported to Hartheim, an institution that was to become a center for the eradication of human life in the Nazis' 'euthanasia' program.
German artist Günter Demnig together with local historians, Dachverband Salzburger Kulturstätten, the Jewish community in Salzburg, and supported by the city of Salzburg is responsible for this act of public remembering: Stolpersteine.
