That is, of course, the point: the stones are meant to disturb, make your head and heart stumble.
I found this passage on the controversy and role of stumbling stones interesting. This is an interesting debate because while the stones emphasize victimhood, they also emphasize the individuality and create a physical disturbance that allows each individual to be remembered. This can accomplish something different than larger memorials.

The idea of naming "categories that are inherently relevant to contemporary societies" relates back to the ideas of dominant knowledge and certain voices regulating what is relevant in society and academics. Thus, cultural studies must be careful in its analysis to employ an inclusive, holistic, and interdisciplinary approach.
