I dont need to imagine anything, ive lived in germany all my life. The stolpersteine mostly dont act as rememberance for the nazis or the holocaust, but the individual person that has lived there. I walk past a dozen of these everyday. Most of the time i barely notice them, sometimes i stop and read the name, imagine what kind of person they might be. I mostly dont think about the way they died, and thats not the point; its about extracting a person from a statistic.
And the suggestion that germans vote right-wing because of holocaust memorials is just bizarre, and ironically also basically what bernd höcke from the right-wing AfD once said. Am i to believe that east-germany has twice as many holocaust-memorials as west-germany because right-wingers get twice as many votes there?

That is also not what I said. Germans vote that way because of deeper unprocessed issues within your culture.
