Extract: A German political art group has constructed a pared-down version of Berlin's Holocaust memorial near the home of a far-right politician who sparked outrage by suggesting Germans should stop atoning for Nazi guilt.
Bjoern Hoecke, a senior member of the anti-immigrant Alternative for Germany (AfD) party, criticised the memorial in Berlin in January, saying: "Germans are the only people in the world who plant a monument of shame in the heart of the capital."
The Centre for Political Beauty, a Berlin-based art group, livestreamed its work on a miniature replica of the memorial near the politician's house in a small village in the eastern state of Thuringia.
The original memorial includes 2,711 concrete slabs of varying heights, arranged in a grid pattern, that serves as a sombre reminder of the 6 million Jews who were
[allegedly] killed by the Nazis.

The political art group said it offered to remove the memorial if Mr Hoecke would kneel in front of it and ask sincerely for forgiveness — like former chancellor Willy Brandt did in 1970 outside the Warsaw Ghetto Monument.

The AfD politician has defended his speech and denies that he criticised the memorial.
He said he had made clear in his comments the Holocaust was a disgrace and that Germany had a monument to it.
