Berta Nussbaum
Berta Nussbaum is commemorated in Würzburg by a small, square brass Stolperstein set into the pavement. Its surface carries her name and basic details about the fate remembered there. The stone brings a personal story into an ordinary street, where pedestrians encounter it during daily life.
Artist Gunter Demnig began the Stolpersteine project in 2005, and Würzburg’s local group started laying stones in 2006. Each memorial marks a person persecuted, deported or murdered under National Socialism. Together, the stones create a decentralized memorial across Würzburg, including the old town and other districts. Their brass surfaces recall people who may have no grave or official marker, while local sponsorships help maintain this shared act of remembrance. Tens of thousands of such stones now form the world’s largest decentralized memorial across Europe.
