The town of Heidenau in East Germany has banned the installation of new Holocaust memorial plaques. The move comes after years of controversy surrounding the 'stumbling stones' which are small brass plaques placed in front of buildings where Jewish residents lived during the Holocaust.

Coverage from The Times of Israel and Ynetnews emphasizes the role of the AfD and CDU parties in supporting the ban. The Jerusalem Post notes that the ban is the latest in a series of efforts to limit the presence of Holocaust memorials in Germany.

The implications of the ban are unclear, but it is likely to be met with criticism from those who see the plaques as an important part of preserving Germany's history.
