BERLIN (Reuters) - A German political art group on Wednesday said it had built a pared-down version of Berlin's Holocaust memorial near the home of a far-right politician who sparked outrage by suggesting history books should more focus on German World War Two victims.
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."
