Stumbling block in Sinalunga

The list of the stumbling blocks in the province of Siena contains the stumbling blocks that the Cologne artist Gunter Demnig in the province of Siena were laid. This province is located in the Italian region of Tuscany . Stumbling blocks remind of the fate of the people who were murdered, deported, expelled or driven to suicide by the National Socialists . As a rule, they are in front of the victim's last self-chosen place of residence.

The first relocations in this province took place on January 5th, 2015 in Siena. The Italian translation of the term stumbling blocks is: Pietre d'inciampo .

Some of the tables can be sorted; the basic sorting is done alphabetically according to the family name.
