List of stumbling blocks in Helsinki

The list of stumbling blocks in Helsinki lists all the stumbling blocks in the Finnish capital Helsinki . Stumbling blocks remind of the fate of the people who were murdered, deported, expelled or driven to suicide by the National Socialists . The Stolpersteine ​​were designed by the Cologne artist Gunter Demnig and are usually laid by himself.

The first three Stolpersteine ​​( Finnish kompastuskivet ) in Helsinki - and thus the first in Finland - were laid on June 4, 2018, a fourth stone on June 8, 2019. For the four other Jews who fell from Finland to the National Socialists during World War II have been handed over, there have been no stumbling blocks so far.

In total, the Finnish authorities handed over five Jewish men to the Gestapo during the Second World War . All five had come into conflict with Finnish law or immigration regulations. She is said to have accompanied three family members of their own free will. The expelled were:

• Heinrich Huppert, accompanied by his son Kurt,
• Georg Kollmann, accompanied by his wife and child,
• Elias Kopelowsky,
• Hans Korn and
• Hans Sybilsky.

With the exception of Kopelowsky, all were of Austrian origin. Georg Kollmann was the only one of the eight who survived the Nazi regime. The handover took place on November 6, 1942 in the Estonian capital Tallinn , 80 kilometers south of Helsinki.
