  • I think Israel has created a problem with never ending memorials to the Holocaust. I think new memorials should perhaps be cut off or isolated to 100 years after the events, so no new memorials after 2045 for instance

    Or maybe, just maybe, this has nothing to do with Israel and the decent part of the German population just wants to do everything they can to prevent a repeat of what happened back then. Now, in 100 years, in 500 years, … you get the point I hope.

    What other bad people did in other parts of the world has no relevance whatsoever for a project that specifically puts small memorials near the last know voluntary residence of a genocide victim on German soil.

    If road workers, and city planners have to deal with these, or they become too much of a boondoggle,

    Never heard anyone else complain about that before. Are you a road worker or city planner in Germany?

  • What is the point of limiting to WW2 rather than any genocide to make it a statement against that?

    The point is to put these stones next to the last known voluntary residence of each individual victim, to make it easier to grasp where these things happened and that they happened to specific individuals, not to an anonymous mass of faceless, nameless people. I am not aware of any other genocides within German borders where the same could be applied.
