20 engraved cobble stones, called 'stolpersteines', are being laid in Jersey today, to commemorate islanders who were persecuted, imprisoned or deported by the Nazis during the occupation.
These stumbling stone memorials are the idea of a German artist, and are seen in many European towns and cities.
They are made from brass and concrete and have the names and last homes of the victims of Nazis, engraved onto them.
20 islanders are featured on the stones.
The first to be laid pays tribute to a man called Nathan Davidson, who passed away in 1944.

Historian Dr Gilly Carr, says Mr Davidson took his own life after facing antisemitic persecution.
The stones are being laid by surviving family members of those paid tribute to in the engravings.
One stolpersteine that commemorates an Alderney forced labourer named Gordon Augustin Prigent was laid today, 25th July, by Gordon’s widow Iris.

Other islanders commemorated in the stones include Victor Emanuel, who also faced antisemitic persecution and took his own life in 1944 and Emma Marshall who was given a 5 year sentence for buying food on the black market.
Mrs Marshall was sent to 13 Nazi prisons as a forced labourer.
More stolpersteines will be laid tomorrow in Guernsey.
