Together with the Old Catholic congregation of St. Cyprian's, Bonn, this Lent we have decided to follow – with the aid of the app Stolpersteine NRW – a route with five stations of Stolpersteine ('stumbling stones'). At each station we will stop to remember, to pray and where necessary to clean the stones. There are 16 stones on the route. We will meet at 5pm on Thursday 3 April in Combahnstr., Bonn-Beuel, in front of house no. 43.
Stolpersteine are memorial stones set into the pavement. They help us to think about the fate of victims around and during WWII. They bring families back together in memory that were suddenly torn apart under National Socialism.
