Scope and Content

Consists of one DVD containing a documentary, approximately 22 minutes, regarding the Stolpersteine in Berlin. The Stolpersteine, which translates to stumbling blocks, are small markers that memorialize those who previously lived at specific addresses. This DVD focuses on the Stolpersteine of Siegfried and Marie Perl, who were deported from Berlin to Theresienstandt in July 1942; Siegfried perished there in September 1943, while Marie was murdered in Auschwitz in 1944. It also focuses on the memorial for Selma Heimann, who was deported in September 1942 and killed in Raasiku, Estonia. Mrs. Heimann and the Perls were the grandparents of Evelyn Perl, who created the documentary.
