德累斯顿附近的海德瑙镇禁止在公共街道上新建“绊脚石”（Stolpersteine）。该镇的中右翼政党基民盟（CDU）与极右翼政党德国选择党（AfD）联合投票，决定禁止安装这些刻有大屠杀受害者姓名的纪念碑。
The town of Heidenau, near Dresden, has banned new Stolpersteine (stumbling stones) on public streets, with the center-right CDU the far-right AfD voting together to stop the installation of new memorial plaques bearing the names of Holocaust victims.
“绊脚石”由一个混凝土立方体构成，顶部装有金属铭牌，上面刻有受害者的姓名。这类纪念碑常见于德国的街道上，通常被安装在略高于周围路面的位置，多位于纳粹政权迫害对象的住所附近。
Stolpersteine are comprised of a concrete cube with a metal plaque on top that bears the victim's name. They are often seen in German streets, installed just slightly higher than the surrounding walking surface, often near the houses of people targeted by the Nazi regime.
这一项目由德国艺术家冈特·德姆尼格（Gunter Demnig）于20世纪90年代初发起。目前，德国境内已安装了约12.8万块这样的纪念碑；此外，这些纪念碑还被放置在另外30个曾受纳粹政权影响的国家，使其成为世界上规模最大的分散式纪念装置。
German artist Gunter Demnig started the project in the early 1990s. While most of the 128,000 such paving stones were installed in Germany they have also been placed in 30 other countries affected by the Nazi regime, making them the largest decentralized monument in the world.
这些“绊脚石”的设立旨在提醒人们不要忘记大屠杀的悲剧。为了观看相关视频，请确保您使用的浏览器支持HTML5视频格式。德姆尼格表示，尽管纪念大屠杀受害者是一项重要的任务，但放置这些纪念碑可能会导致路人无意中踩到或碾过这些铭牌上的文字。他建议应在城市的墓地中为受害者举行纪念仪式。
Stumbling stones — against forgetting To view this video, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Creator of Stolpersteine pledges to keep on working The initiators of the Heidenau ban argue that, while remembering Holocaust victims is an essential task, the placement of stones leads to "passersby walking over or even stepping onto the names of the victims." They suggested honoring Holocaust victims at one of the city's cemeteries instead.
现年78岁的德姆尼格拒绝了这一观点，他认为纪念活动必须发生在受害者曾经生活过的地点，因为“绊脚石”能让当地年轻人更直观地感受到历史的沉重。他还表示，这一禁令是德国最近大选结果导致的：“在德国选择党取得选举胜利后，这样的禁令其实早在意料之中。”德姆尼格在接受德国新闻社（DPA）采访时表达了希望：希望海德瑙的禁令能成为一个例外，并承诺会“比以往更加努力”地继续自己的创作工作。
Demnig, now 78, has rejected this argument. The artist said that remembrance must be visible where people used to live, and that stumbling stones make history tangible for local young people. At the same time, he said he saw the ban coming due to the outcome of recent state elections in Germany "After the electoral successes of the AfD, something like this was completely expected," Demnig was quoted as saying by the DPA news agency. He expressed hope that the Heidenau ban would remain an exception and pledged to "push on now more than ever" with his work.
德姆尼格还指责中右翼的基民盟（基督教民主联盟）抛弃了基督教价值观。他说，总理弗里德里希·默茨所属的政党“或许可以从其缩写中删掉字母C，因为他们早已抛弃了基督教。”
Demnig also accused the center-right CDU (Christian Democratic Union) of abandoning Christian values. He said the party of Chancellor Friedrich Merz "should maybe drop the C" from their acronym "because they have dropped Christianity already."
基民盟在海德瑙支持AfD的做法是“丑闻”。许多人也对基民盟决定与AfD联手推动该提案通过感到愤怒。此举正值默茨总理因本党糟糕的选情而面临政治危机，也引发了人们对德国主流政党一直维持的抵御极右翼政治“防火墙”的质疑，这道防火墙旨在阻止AfD掌权。极右翼AfD在地方选举中获胜后，下一步会怎样？
CDU's support of AfD in Heidenau 'a scandal' Many others also responded with outrage to the CDU's decision to join forces with the AfD to pass the motion. The move comes with Chancellor Merz already facing a political crisis over his party's poor electoral performance, and raises questions about the political "firewall" against the far right which mainstream political parties in Germany have maintained to keep the AfD out of power. What next after far-right AfD win in regional election?
周五，德国绿党两名最高领导人之一费利克斯·巴纳夏克称此举是“一场丑闻”。
On Friday, one of the top two leaders of Germany's Green Party Felix Banaszak, described the move as "a scandal."
巴纳夏克提到当前关于右翼极端主义以及AfD崛起的争论，表示必须竭尽一切努力，“让那些遭受迫害和杀害的人的记忆继续鲜活。”国际奥斯维辛委员会也谴责基民盟支持该提案，称此事是丑闻。
Banaszak pointed to the current debate on right-wing extremism and the rise of the AfD, saying that everything must be done "to keep alive the memories of those who were persecuted and killed." The International Auschwitz Committee also slammed the CDU support to the motion as scandalous.
该组织执行副主席克里斯托夫·霍布纳说：“这是一场赤裸裸且卑鄙的企图，他们想再次把海德瑙的纳粹受害者赶出这座城市，再把他们弃置在——按照AfD的说法——他们的记忆早就应该在的地方：墓地。”请在Google上将我们选为您的首选来源，
"This is a transparent and despicable attempt to drive Nazi victims in Heidenau out of the city once again and dispose of them where, according to the AfD, their memory has belonged a long time ago — at the cemetery," said Christoph Heubner, the organization's executive vice president. select us as your Preferred Source on Google,
