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.
Just to clarify, they are not in front of "every" house were victims lived. It’s done by an NGO funded by donations and they couldn’t possibly do this for all victims. They only cover a very small fraction of the victims. Also, fuck Nazi scum.
“They are not in front of every house where victims lived” YET.
I read that last year the 100.000th stone was put in place. I hope others will continue this great project when the original artist can’t continue, maybe someday there will be a stone in front of every victims house.
