Spotikavci (Stumbling Block) in Ljubljana



We designed the poster for Gunter Demnig's Spotikavci (Stumbling Block) in Ljubljana.

Demnig replaces the cobblestones outside Holocaust victims' homes with brass plates inscribed with short epitaphs. From Wikipedia: "The Stolperstein project (Stumbling Block) … aims to commemorate individuals at exactly the last place of residency—or, sometimes, work—which was freely chosen by the person before he or she fell victim to Nazi terror, euthanasia, eugenics, was deported to a concentration or extermination camp, or escaped persecution by emigration or suicide."

Spotikavci (Stumbling Block) will be unveiled in Ljubljana on August 6, 2018. This event was organized by the Jewish Cultural Centre in Ljubljana.
