Block der Frauen

TIME : 2016/2/18 19:36:41

A pale-pink sandstone sculpture on Rosenstrasse called Block der Frauen (Block of Women) by Jewish-German artist Inge Hunzinger (1915-2009) marks the the site where non-Jewish German women peacefully but tenaciously protested against the planned deportation of their Jewish husbands. Information pillars provide further background about this rare and courageous act of defiance against the Nazi regime.
