Stuttgart, Germany - August 11, 2018: A young girl climbs on rubble from WWII at the Birkenkopf, a 511-meter high hill in Stuttgart, Germany. Much of Stuttgart was destroyed by Allied bombing during WWII, and in the 1950s rubble was carried to the top of this hill, increasing its height by around 40 meters.

The plaque is roughly translated as, "This mountain, after World War II piled up from the ruins of the city, stands as a memorial to the victims and a reminder to the living."
