Heidenau bans new Stolpersteine memorial pavers; far-right motion passes with CDU support

The town council of Heidenau, Germany, voted to ban further installation of Stolpersteine (stumbling stones) memorializing Nazi victims, a motion introduced by the far-right AfD and supported by CDU councilors. This marks a notable local policy shift in Holocaust remembrance, potentially setting a precedent for other municipalities. The decision is controversial and may face legal or public backlash.
