On my trip to four former concentration camps in Northern Germany during June 2012, I only saw a couple of Stolpersteine, during my 2 days in Celle, and didn't get any photos of them, so I've lifted the one above from Wikipedia. But during my recent trip to Poland, I noticed that it has a not too dissimiliar tribute to Jews, in buildings which were occupied them prior to WWII.
All the photos below are from the charming Old Town of Lublin. I did notice at least two of these tributes in the town of Wlodawa, but that was before I visited Lublin, so didn't realise what they were at the time, and didn't take any photos unfortunately.
The ground floor of this building is
presently a Jewish restaurant.
Spurious. This building is about 50
metres outside the Old Town
I wonder if there are similar large pictures of the former inhabitants of Stettin, Danzig, and Breslau peering out of windows? Oh only the chosen are eligible you say??
ReplyAs for the Stolpersteins they are part and parcel of the Marxist re education program. No Stolpersteins exist for the folks sent to the Soviet camps after 1945 because they are unworthy people.
I was just thinking back to my childhood in the Seventies in West Germany. The part of our town where I lived was built in the Sixties, and the streets where named after the occupied cities of East Germany (not GDR but the real east germany) like Breslau, Stettin and more, to keep them in memory and remind people of all the East germans who where expelled and lost their homes. Nowadays this would be impossible in Germany. It would be condemnd as intolerance, revanchism, rassism and so on and so on. I really wonder that the green party did not demand yet to change this street names to the names of holocaust survivors, gays or people like Nelson Mandela. In Rostock they have an Ilja Ehrenburg street. Our country is captured in some kind of collectively madness. Everything is just about multiculture, "german guilt", and holocaust, holocaust and even more holocaust... It reminds me to the Flagellants of the middle ages. It is deeply depressing.
ReplyThe state religion of the BRD is Shoaismus with the head temple next to the parliament building in Berlin.

Like medieval Roman Catholicism it insists that true believers self flagellate.
Just read the metapedia article about the holocaust religion. It seems shoahism is really about to become a new religion. The most shocking to me was the 2009 statement of the vatican´s press spokesman: "Somebody who denies the shoah doesn´t know anything about the mystery of god neither the crucifix of christ". The mystery of god - the crucifix of christ - the shoah: All on the same level. It seems to be clear that they have conquered Rome through the backdoor. Now they´ve got christianity on the hook. In Germany children learn in school today that it were the romans not the jews who crucified christ. On Faurisson´s blog I found a quote from Obama from September 2012: "Those who slander the prophet of Islam, desecrate the imagine of christ, destroy churches, deny the holocaust". Oh my god. The message is clear: If you doubt the holocaust, you are the same kind of people who destroy churches, you are the worst kind of criminal. Expect no mercy. May be somewhere in the future you will be sent to a "revisionist guantanamo" in the Negev desert?
