Rome installs new stolpersteine memorials.

Rome has installed 24 new brass cobblestone memorials to Holocaust victims at locations across the city ahead of International Holocaust Remembrance Day on 27 January.

Designed by Berlin artist Gunter Demnig, the memorials are known in German as stolpersteine - translated literally as “stumbling stones” - and are installed outside the last chosen place of residence of victims of the Holocaust.

The brass-capped blocks, which have been added to the hundreds of stolpersteine already present on Rome's streets, are dedicated to Jews and partisans, including women and children, who were either deported to Auschwitz or killed in Rome.

The 24 new stolptersteine were installed on Monday and Tuesday (another one will be installed on 12 February) as part of the 16th edition of the Memorie d'Inciampo commemorative project overseen by the Arte in Memoria association.

The memorials can be found in Garbatella, S. Lorenzo, Prati, Ponte Milvio, San Saba, Ostiense, Monte Sacro, the Jewish Ghetto district and in the historic centre.
