This site was born in January 2018, as the conclusion of my one-year internship at the Jewish Heritage Museum of Padua when I was a student at “Tito Livio” high school in Padua, under the guidance of my tutor, Simonetta Lazzaretto.
Although I finished my training when sitting my finals in 2019, I was encouraged to continue to keep the site alive and update it every time that new stumbling stones will be laid in Padova.
The English version of the site is edited by Antonella Ortis and Sara Babad, untiring volunteers at the Museum. The Hebrew version is edited by Yoel Naouri, an Israeli doctor, who graduated in Padua and taught here from 2014 to 2019 modern Hebrew language at the Jewish Community of Padua.

The stories of the Shoa Victims in Padua can be read in the following books:
