The author journeys to Frankfurt to honor six family members who survived the Holocaust by placing Stolpersteine memorial stones. This trip serves as both a celebration of life and a poignant reminder of the near destruction of the Kuppenheim family during Nazi persecution. With family members gathering from around the world, the author reflects on the significance of remembering the past and the rise of far-right sentiments in contemporary society. The trip emphasizes the mix of grief and hope as the family pays tribute to their lost heritage while acknowledging their survival and resilience.
The far-flung diaspora of the Kuppenheim clan reassembles...It’s also a grim reminder that the entire family was once very nearly destroyed.
As I prepare to attend the Stolpersteine ceremony in Germany, I'm both remembering the dark past and celebrating the survival of my family.
