MemoryLanes vs Stolpersteine Berlin

Uncover previously invisible sites of Jewish life in Germany, Poland and Serbia. Teenagers from across Europe investigated the Centropa archive, as well as other historical sources, to research Jewish biographies from their towns and cities. With the guidance of local artists, they created graphic novels, interviews, audio recordings, animations, films and many other projects to retell the stories of those who might once have been their neighbors. Together we aim to anchor formerly invisible places of Jewish life as new places of remembrance.  The project was developed by Centropa – Zentrum für jüdische Geschichte des 20. Jahrhunderts e.V, Galicia Jewish Museum in Krakow, berlinHistory App, an open digital platform for history and CEP (Centre for Education Policy), an independent multidisciplinary research center. MemoryLanes is a project by the Education Agenda NS-Injustice funded by EVZ Foundation and the Federal Ministry of Finance (BMF) based on a decision by the Bundestag.

Stolpersteine in Berlin offers a digital gateway to one of the world’s largest decentralized memorials. Through an interactive map, the app displays Stolpersteine (stumbling stones) installed across Berlin that commemorate the victims of National Socialism. Discover the stories behind the names: Many Stolpersteine include additional information—such as biographies, photographs, and historical context. The app also allows you to create personal lists, helping you save Stolpersteine that move you or relate to specific themes—ideal for city walks, school projects, or personal remembrance. Features at a glance: • Interactive map of all Stolpersteine in Berlin • Biographies and photos (where available) of the individuals commemorated • Create personal lists and add Stolpersteine • Search by name, street, or neighborhood This app is for anyone interested in remembrance culture—whether you live in Berlin, are visiting, a student, or engaged in historical research. "A person is only forgotten when their name is forgotten." Developed by the Stolpersteine Berlin Coordination Office, this app helps make forgotten names visible—digitally, accessibly, and with dignity.
