Shoah - Put Stolen Stumbling Blocks In Rome

(l-r) Sabrina Alfonsi, Riccardo Di Segni, Virginia Raggi, Ruth Dureghello, Luca Bergamo, Ada Chiara Zevi stand at memorial stones called "Stolpersteine" (stumbling blocks), which commemorate the members of a Jewish family murdered in concentration camps during the Nazi dictatorship on January 15, 2019 in Rome, Italy. The stumbling blocks that were stolen from the capital on 10 December last are back on the road, among the cobblestones of the Monti district in Rome. The gold blocks are placed under the houses of families deported to the Nazi extermination camps during the Second World War. The repositioning of the stones that recall the families Di Consiglio and Di Castro, made at the expense of the Capitol, took place today in Via della Madonna dei Monti in the presence of the Mayor of Rome, Virginia Raggi and the Jewish community of Rome at the presemza of the rabbi of Rome Riccardo Di Segni, the president of the Jewish community of Rome Ruth Dureghello, the president of the association Art in Memory Ada Chiara Zevi, the artist Gunter Demnig.
