Wikipedia:WikiProject Stolpersteine/Stolpersteine in Flanders

The Stolpersteine in Flanders lists all Stolpersteine that have been collocated in Flanders, Belgium. Stolpersteine is the German name for stumbling blocks collocated all over Europe by German artist Gunter Demnig. They remember the fate of the Nazi victims being murdered, deported, exiled or driven to suicide.

Generally, the stumbling blocks are posed in front of the building where the victims had their last self chosen residence. The name of the Stolpersteine in Flemish is: Struikelstenen.

The lists are sortable; the basic order follows the alphabet according to the last name of the victim.

Antwerp

Numerous Stolpersteine were made for Antwerp but could not be relocated due to lack of permission from the city administration. These stumbling blocks are located in the premises of the Association pour la Mémoire de la Shoah in Brussels and have been exhibited several times. The first collocation took place in January 2018, without permission from the city administration.

Birutė Sabatauskienė, Leiterin des litauischen Zentrums für Menschenrechte und damit der Organisation, die die Stolpersteine nach Litauen bringt, sieht in diesen Steinen eine Möglichkeit, dem kollektiven Erinnern an die Litauer, die dem Holocaust zum Opfer fielen, eine neue Bedeutung beizumessen:

"We want to preserve the memory of people with very different backgrounds: athletes, politicians, artists, doctors, restaurant owners and even those who were killed before they graduated - former neighbors, former members of our community".
