The Stolpersteine in Croatia lists the Stolpersteine in the Republic of Croatia. Stolpersteine is the German name for stumbling blocks collocated all over Europe by German artist Gunter Demnig. They remember the fate of the Nazi victims being murdered, deported, exiled or driven to suicide.
Generally, the stumbling blocks are posed in front of the building where the victims had their last self-chosen residence. Until now in Croatia there has been only one collocation of Stolpersteine—in 2013 in the Adriatic town Rijeka (Croatian pronunciation: [rijěːka] , in Italian: Fiume). From 1466, this town was under Habsburg rule for four and half centuries, at last with two-thirds of its inhabitants being of Italian descent. Thereafter, Rijeka was independent for some years. From 1924 to the end of WW2, the city belonged to Italy. The name of the Stolpersteine in Croatian is Kamen spoticanja, and in Italian: pietre d'inciampo.

[1] His family moved to Fiume/Rijeka in 1894. He established himself as a retailer of gadgets and jewelry and married Zseni Zipszer, also called Giannetta. The couple had three children, the sons Arturo (1914–1980) and Efraim (born 1919) and the daughter Magda (also Maddalena), who later-on was married to Enrico Heimler and took his name. Both sons were able to emigrate to Palestine in time. His daughter Magda, together with her husband, her mother-in-law and her sister-in-law, escaped to Central Italy in September 1943, and thereafter to Switzerland where she could survive the Holocaust. [2] Jeremus Eugenio Lipschitz was interned by the Mussolini regime 28 July – 22 December 1940 in the Campagna internment camp. After his release he was not allowed to return to Fiume for a certain period. He and his wife were arrested in Fiume by German forces in March 1944, first deported to Risiera di San Sabba, a German concentration camp in Trieste, later to Auschwitz Birkenau concentration camp. There, both were murdered at an unknown time. His sister Giuseppina and her husband Adolfo Simkovits were also murdered in Auschwitz. [3] Lipschitz's report on the internment in Campagna was translated by his daughter from Hungarian to Italian and published in 2001 in book form. His report was designated by the Corriere del Mezzogiorno as a particularly relevant historical document. [lower-alpha 1] Excerpts appeared in two anthologies in 2011 and 2015. [5] [6] |
