In Berlijn zijn rond de Kristallnacht, de dag die in 1938 het begin inluidde van de uitroeiing van de Duitse joden, veel stoplpersteinen verdwenen. Stolpersteine zijn gedenktekens aan op het trottoir voor de huizen van mensen die door de nazi's verdreven, gedeporteerd, vermoord of tot zelfmoord gedreven zijn. Er zijn er ook veel in Nederland. Tientallen van die stenen zijn deze maand verdwenen en neo-nazi's worden er van verdacht ze te hebben weggehaald. Op Twitter zijn neo-nazi's uitgelaten dat ze zijn verdwenen [caption id="attachment_745918" align="aligncenter" width="584"] October 14, 2017 - Munich, Bavaria, Germany - Despite lengthy battles, the so-called Stolpersteine (“Stumbling Blocks”) containing the names & information of victims of National Socialism were installed at four different sites in Munich.
