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 'Stolpersteine' — the brass memorial plaques laid in pavements to mark the last homes or workplaces of Jews and other victims of the Holocaust. The decision has drawn widespread criticism and accusations of antisemitism and historical amnesia, with campaigners and commentators condemning the town for turning its back on a memorial tradition now found across Europe.
Why now: The ban is being widely condemned as an insult to Holocaust victims amid ongoing debate about antisemitism in Germany.
