The German Society for Trauma Surgery was founded at Alma Mater Lipsiensis on September 23, 1922. We remember its 36 Jewish members who were persecuted between 1933 and 1945. Their doctoral degrees, medical licenses, and health insurance accreditations were revoked, and they were prohibited from teaching. Some fled into exile, some took their own lives, and others were murdered in concentration camps.

A Stolperstein (in English "stumbling block") is a ten-centimetre (four-inch) concrete cube bearing a brass plate inscribed with the name and life dates of victims of Nazi extermination or persecution. The Stolpersteine project, initiated by the German artist Gunter Demnig in 1992, aims to commemorate persons at the last place that they chose freely to reside, work or study (with exceptions possible on a case-by-case basis) before they fell victim to Nazi terror, forced euthanasia, eugenics, deportation to a concentration or extermination camp, or escaped persecution by emigration or suicide. As of June 2023, 100,000 Stolpersteine have been laid, making the Stolpersteine project the world's largest decentralized memorial.(Submitted on October 5, 2026, by James Hulse of Medina, Texas.)
