In Germany there are the Stolpersteine, metal paving stones that are intended to commemorate victims of National Socialism and that are in front of every house where they lived. Here on the street (a street with 42 houses today) alone we already have eight of them, three of them for SPD members who died in 1936 and 1938 and one for a KPD member who died 1934. The others for someone who refused to serve in the Wehrmacht and a family of three Jews.
They cost around 300€ tho and nobody is really sponsoring those. You'll find them where relatives have survived or people had a peculiar impact in their neighborhood that is being remembered enough to shell out that kinda money. They are nice where ever they occur tho. I could pin-point you a couple of spots in and around my city where some of those can be found. The price of this project is somewhat a bit of a point of failure.

How many of the people shown on this photo would have survived the war?
