You're walking down the street and suddenly see a name. No Grand Words. But a Story.

insidethegatesThis is a stumbling stone — a small concrete cube with a brass plate. Often unnoticed by those rushing past, but deeply eloquent to those who pause. Each stone marks a story. A life. And a memory returning to the city. Since August 2025, the Kyiv project “One Stone — One Life: 80 Stumbling Stones for Kyiv” has continued its work. This autumn will bring new installations, new names, new research, and new teams, which we will begin forming in September. Follow our announcements — it might just be you

What do we do, and why?

We research stories — not general ones, but deeply personal. 

  •    - restore memory of those who lived nearby before 1941.

  •    - place stones near the homes where these people lived, studied, and worked. 

  •    - show that history isn’t only in books — it’s here, in the city. 

  •    - create opportunities for learning: school and university research teams gather information, write biographies, trace lost stories — and become part of shaping remembrance.

On our updated website kyivstones.org you’ll find:

  •    - An interactive map

  •    - Biographies

  •    - Photos from installations

  •    - Project details and media materials

Join us — whether you want to research, help with installations, or simply walk the memory route.

Visit kyivstones.org. , follow us on social media, or write to us.

Memory is action. And action begins with a single step.

One stone. One life.

The project is implemented by the Ukrainian Center for Holocaust Studies in cooperation with the Educational CenterEducational Center "Space of Tolerance" initiated bythe Embassy of Germany in Kyiv  and supported by the Kyiv City State Administration
