Heidenau, a town in eastern Germany, voted to stop the placement of new Stolpersteine, small brass plaques set into sidewalks that mark the names of individuals murdered by the Nazis. The decision, driven by a right‑wing majority on the council, follows a broader debate over the memorials’ visibility and perceived impact on the town’s image.
