List of stumbling blocks in Selb

This list of pitfalls in Selb results by artist Gunter Demnig laid stumbling blocks in Selb on. They are intended to commemorate the victims of National Socialism who lived and worked in Selb.

The stumbling blocks were laid on behalf of the city of Selb. In 2009 she commissioned Ekkehard Hübschmann to research the Jewish history of Selb in the 20th century, to determine who the Jewish inhabitants of Selb were and to describe their lives and forms of persecution during the Nazi era. Above all, the Jewish Nazi victims of Selb should be determined. Hübschmann announced the results in two public lectures on January 25, 2010. He gave an extended form of the lecture on February 4, 2012 as part of the anniversary of the Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. group, 50 years in Germany and 25 years in Selb.
