Dear Miriam
I support your proposal with regard to Stumbling Stones. Not sure how I can help, but thank you for the thought.
My closest family survived but more distant family perished in the Holocaust.
Best wishes
Karin Perrin

Apologies for inserting the wrong link (although the Yad Vashem Yom Hashoa commemoration is also pertinent).
Correct link to Babin Yar documentary:

During these days near Yom Hashoa I have like many of us, been reflecting on my maternal family’s tragic history and the need to memorialise for ever their lives and our losses.
In this vein, I am wondering whether the issue of stolpersteine and the possibility of installing them in front of our family members’ pre- Shoah homes in Czernowitz has ever been raised in this forum.
As you will all know they are stumble stones, simple brass cobblestones to point out where the victims of the Holocaust lived before they were deported. I have seen them in various German cities and in Vienna.
I assume that negotiating with Ukrainian authorities may not be so easy but I recently viewed an interesting documentary on the murderous tragedy of Babin Yar (

I would appreciate some feedback on this issue, and an indication on whether such a project would be viable.
