Germany's far-right AfD has moved to ban Stolpersteine, the small brass memorials embedded in pavements across Germany and Europe commemorating victims of the Nazis. Critics say the party is attempting to erase the memory of Nazi crimes while simultaneously insisting it is not a Nazi party, and the contradiction is drawing sharp condemnation and widespread discussion.

Why now: The AfD's attempt to remove memorials to Nazi victims is being seen as evidence of far-right historical revisionism, fuelling controversy ahead of German political debates.
