Memorial stones laid to remember islanders in WW2

Last year, 20 stones were installed in the island

Memorial stones to remember islanders who lost their lives during World War Two will be laid across Jersey next week.

There are 25 stolpersteine, which translates from German as "stumble stones", which will be installed at an address with a connection to the person being remembered.

Last year, 20 stones were installed in the island to remember, in all but two instances, survivors of Nazi persecution.

The second phase of the Channel Islands project, led by Jersey Heritage, will see the next set of stones laid to remember those who lost their lives.

Joseph Tierney is one of the people being memorialised

The first stone in the second phase will be laid outside the Town Hall on Monday at 10:00 BST for Peter Johnson, who died at Mittelbau-Dora concentration camp in 1944.

At the installation of each stolpersteine, the story of the person being memorialised will be read out.

Pat Fisher's father Joseph Tierney is one of the people being memorialised.

He died in Kastice in May 1945 and is buried in Psov in the Czech Republic.

Ms Fisher said: "'On behalf of my family and myself, we wish to express our thanks to Gilly Carr, Jersey Heritage and the stolpersteine organisation for honouring my father, Joseph Tierney, with a stolpersteine memory stone.

"We are extremely proud to be able to witness this presentation during the 80th anniversary year of his death."

She added: "He was a loving, caring man who did not deserve to be treated and punished in this way.

"Ultimately, he died an innocent man."
