Outrage as East German town bans Holocaust 'stumbling blocks'
Original: Outrage as East German town bans Holocaust ‘stumbling blocks’
A small town in eastern Germany has banned the installation of new 'stumbling blocks' — brass memorial plaques set into pavements marking the last known homes or workplaces of Jews and other Nazi victims. The decision has drawn widespread outrage across Germany, with critics calling it a troubling signal about attitudes toward Holocaust remembrance in parts of the former East Germany.
Why now: The town's ban touches a raw nerve in Germany over Holocaust memory and is being condemned publicly.
