Munich Vetoes Sidewalk Holocaust Memorials

A Cologne-based artist's bid to create a personalized memorial for every Nazi victim by placing a bronze "stumbling stone" in front of their last known address has been defeated by Munich's city council. The plaques, listing the victim's name, birth date, and place of death, have faced criticism from Jewish groups concerned about the thousands of people who would step on the names of the dead.
