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 plaques laid in pavements to mark the last known homes or workplaces of Jews and other victims of the Nazis. The decision has drawn widespread outrage across Germany, with critics calling it a dishonour to Holocaust victims and part of a worrying trend of historical revisionism in parts of the former East Germany.
Why now: The ban is being condemned as a politically charged act of Holocaust memory erasure in Germany.
