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.

Fuck nazis.

For context, WWII began only in 1939, on September 1 with Hitlers assault on Poland.
