At the beginning of the week, all stumbling blocks in Zeitz (Saxony-Anhalt) were torn out. The act caused horror on the anniversary of the Hamas attack on Israel.
After the theft in the city of Zeitz (Saxony-Anhalt), thousands of euros in donations have already flowed towards the re-laying of stumbling blocks. As the Burgenland district announced, almost 18,000 euros have already been transferred to the donation account that was set up. New money is being added almost every hour, said a spokeswoman. Some people would donate five euros, others 500. The donations come from all over Germany, which shows how much the theft of the stumbling blocks affects people.
Earlier this week it was discovered that all ten Stolpersteine in the city had been torn up and stolen. The gold-colored stones are intended to commemorate the victims of National Socialism. According to the artist and initiator of the Stolpersteine project, Gunter Demnig, around 112,000 Stolpersteine have been laid worldwide and around 900 have been stolen. The stones should be replaced as soon as possible.
According to police, there is still no information about the as yet unknown perpetrators. The police state security is investigating.
