Reseña del libro "Last Known Address. The Stumbling Stones of Europe (en Inglés)"

Award-winning author Kathy Kacer tells thirteen stories of victims of the Holocaust and the modern memorials that mark their last known address.



Embedded into the cobblestones of Europe are Stolpersteine—stumbling stones.


Carefully hand-chiseled with names and dates, these small, brass plaques make up the largest monument to the Holocaust in the world. Today, you can find over 100,000 stones across Europe.


The Stumbling Stones Project was begun by artist Gunter Demnig as a way to remember that each victim of the Holocaust had a life that was terribly and tragically stolen. Each memorial plaque is placed outside the last voluntary address of the person—the homes from which they were arrested and often taken to concentration camps. Not all were Jewish, some were persecuted for being Romani, disabled, or queer, and not all shared the same fate. These stories include that of a resistance fighter, an art conservator, an Olympian, and the young Anne Frank. Take a journey around Europe to learn their stories.



Thirteen stories of Holocaust victims who are memorialized by Stolpersteine—stumbling stones—to mark their last known address.



Key Selling Points:


Kathy Kacer has written, co-authored, and edited over 30 books for young readers. She has dedicated her career to sharing stories of the Second World War and the Holocaust. Her books have won the Forest of Reading Silver Birch Award, the Red Maple Award, the Hackmatack, the Jewish Book Award, and many others.
Kathy’s book To Hope and Back has been chosen two years in a row for a program that sends sets of one book into classrooms across Ontario for Holocaust education, with tens of thousands of copies distributed.
In Last Known Address Kacer once again brings true stories of lives lost in the Holocaust to life for young people, capturing stories of hope, courage, and humanity in the face of overwhelming adversity. 
This book shares the amazing story of Gunter Demnig, a German artist who began The Stolpersteine (translating to “stumbling stones”) project to commemorate Holocaust victims across Europe by placing bronze plaques at the last known residence where they lived freely. The stones, scattered across Europe, each contain an inscription honouring the victims. 
As of 2023, 100,000 Stumbling Stones have been laid, making the project the world's largest Holocaust memorial.
Anti-Jewish hate crimes are on the rise in North America and teaching about the Holocaust is more important as ever. To counter antisemitism and Holocaust denial, several provinces across Canada and many states in the USA have implemented Holocaust education for younger readers, now often beginning in grade 6. Over 26 states currently require some form of Holocaust curriculum in K-12 schools and the majority of American K-12 students receive Holocaust education. As of November 2024, the Ontario government has invested an additional $551,000 for resources to help students, families and educators combat antisemitism in schools.
Second Story Press has sold over 180,000 copies of Kathy's books in North America, and they are consistently among our bestsellers.
