The placement of the Stolpersteine was realised after the acceptance of the relevant request of the Citizens' Initiative for the Stolpersteine in Thessaloniki by the Thessaloniki Port Authority SA, with the support of the educational organization Humanity in Action, the Foundation Remembrance, Responsibility, Future and the Heinrich Boell Foundation.
The Citizens' Initiative for the Stolpersteine in Thessaloniki will keep on supporting similar initiatives thus contributing to the restoration of our city's collective memory.
