Austrians tread carefully as underfoot Holocaust memorials remain controversial – For the past 20 years Stolpersteine, or stumbling stones, have peppered the idyllic town of Salzburg, a reminder of the city’s victims. But does anyone notice? | Times of Israel

SALZBURG, Austria — Let the dead trip the people into remembering. That was the committee’s first proposal for how the Stolpersteine plaques should be installed into Salzburg’s sidewalks.
They imagined the brass memorial plates would be slightly elevated in the concrete, causing pedestrians to stumble over the dedications to the individual residents of Salzburg who were murdered during the Holocaust. Stolpersteine translates to stumbling stone, and the committee was feeling quite literal.
