德国海德瑙镇的议会投票通过了一项禁令,禁止在公共街道上安装新的"踩踏石"纪念碑1。这些纪念碑上刻有纳粹大屠杀受害者的名字,中右翼基督教民主联盟(CDU)与极右翼德国另类选择党(AfD)联合支持了这一决议1。
踩踏石项目由艺术家冈特·德姆尼格于20世纪90年代初创办1。目前全球共有128000块踩踏石,其中大部分位于德国,另有30个其他国家也安装了这种纪念碑1。现年78岁的德姆尼格表示将继续推进这项工作1,并批评CDU应该从其名称中去掉代表"基督教"的"C"1。德国绿党领导人费利克斯·班纳扎克称CDU的决定是"丑闻"1,国际奥斯维辛委员会执行副主席克里斯托夫·霍布纳则谴责这是"可鄙的企图"1。
The town council of Heidenau, Germany, has passed a resolution prohibiting the installation of new "stumbling stones" memorial plaques on public streets, with the center-right CDU and far-right AfD voting together in support of the ban 1. These commemorative stones bear the names of Nazi Holocaust victims 1.
The "stumbling stones" project was initiated by artist Gunter Demnig in the early 1990s 1. The initiative has grown significantly, with approximately 128,000 stones now installed globally, the majority located in Germany, while 30 other countries have also adopted the memorial practice 1. Despite his age of 78 years, Demnig has refused to accept the ban and declared his intention to continue the project 1. He has criticized the CDU, suggesting the party should remove the "C"—standing for Christian—from its name, given what he characterizes as a departure from Christian values 1.
The decision has drawn sharp criticism from political opponents and international observers. Green Party leader Felix Banaszak described the CDU's decision as a "scandal" 1, while Christoph Höbner, executive vice-chair of the International Auschwitz Committee, called the move a "contemptible attempt" 1.
