On this day in 1938, the Nazi in Germany systematically attacked many Jewish homes, businesses, schools and hospitals. In Germany it is known today as the Reichspogromnacht.

Toot

Today, I want to help keep the memory alive of those who were detained and killed by the Nazi. For quite a few of them, Stolpersteine have been placed at places where they once lived. I know of three places in my neighborhood in Schaarbeek, Belgium, and went there to clean them.

The commune of Schaerbeek/Schaarbeek has some backgrounds on each of the persons/families:
