德国萨克森州海德堡镇议会投票决定禁止在公共空间设置"跌脚石"(Stolpersteine)纪念碑1。这些纪念碑用于悼念纳粹受害者,自1990年代起已在欧洲多国被嵌入街道中1。议会的动议称应将纪念碑移至城市公墓Nordfriedhof,以确保"无法直接踩踏纪念元素"1。
该禁令由极右翼政党德国选择党(AfD)和保守派基督教民主联盟(CDU)议员推动1,遭到德国教育部长卡琳·普里恩、大屠杀幸存者等各界强烈反对1。普里恩将此举评价为"丑闻"1。慕尼黑犹太社区主席、大屠杀幸存者夏洛特·克诺布洛赫称这样的做法是"完全错误的"1。跌脚石项目倡议者冈特·德姆尼格指出,鉴于AfD最近在州选举中的胜利,这类举措"确实是可以预期的"1。
The town council of Heidelberg in Saxony, Germany, has voted to prohibit the installation of "Stolpersteine," or stumbling stones, in public spaces.1 These commemorative plaques, embedded into streets across Europe since the 1990s, honor Jewish victims and other victims of Nazi atrocities.1 The council's motion calls for relocating any existing memorials to the city cemetery Nordfriedhof, ensuring that "memorial elements cannot be directly stepped upon."1
The ban was driven by proposals from the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) and conservative Christian Democratic Union (CDU) lawmakers.1 The decision has drawn widespread condemnation from German Education Minister Karin Prien, who called it a "scandal," as well as from Holocaust survivors and Jewish community leaders.1 Charlotte Knobloch, chairwoman of the Munich Jewish Community and a Holocaust survivor, denounced the move as "completely wrong."1 Gunter Demnig, the initiator of the Stolpersteine project, stated that such measures are "indeed to be expected" given the AfD's recent electoral victories in Saxony-Anhalt and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.1
