About this experience

The Second World War Memorial, the Stumble Stones in Hønefoss, is a unique memorial that commemorates the Jewish victims of the Holocaust.

The memorial consists of small brass plaques, or 'stumble stones', which are placed in the pavement outside the former homes of the victims.

Each plaque is inscribed with the name of the victim, their date of birth, and the date of their deportation.

The memorial is a powerful reminder of the horrors of the Holocaust and the importance of remembering those who were lost.

Visitors can take a self-guided tour of the memorial, which is located in the centre of Hønefoss.

The memorial is free to visit and provides an important reminder of the tragedy of the Holocaust.
