It started almost immediately the Nazis came to power. Like stars that twinkle out when the dawn approaches, individuals and families throughout the country disappeared, many never to be seen again.

From a small beginning, artist Gunter Demnig has built up a remarkable memorial to the victims of Nazism in over two hundred European cities.
