 The Stolpersteine project has led to a new interest in the forgotten victims.The cultural initiative KNIE invited Demnig in 1997 to Oberndorf near Salzburg.After the Stolpersteine for Jehovah’s Witnesses Matthias and Johann Nobis were accidentally destroyed, the political scientist Andreas Maislinger, who is from the area, invited Demnig to renovate the destroyed memorials and install more in the adjacent district of Braunau am Inn.
