A series of square cobblestones set into the pavements in Berlin contain the names of jewish people who were victims of the Nazis in the 1930s and 40s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is argued that much like &#8216;postmemory&#8217;, these stones act as a remembrance of those people, but also as way of provoking memory. by reading the names and dates of the people, those viewing them are given a window to the past, triggering memories and stories told.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This reminds me a little of the poppies we use to remember our fallen heros in the UK.  When you see a poppy it triggers lots of sayings and memories we have been brought up with.  I was not born during either of the world wars, but do feel that we have an emotional connection to all of those people who died during that time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I feel that music is also a trigger for postmemories, such as the songs I grew up with trigger memories of my parents and our family life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stolpersteine is a public arts project started in 1996 by artist Gunter Demnig.
