The Associated Jewish Congregation of Wuerttemberg has protested to the Baden-Wuerttemberg Minister of the Interior against the recent dedication at Castle Staufeneck of a memorial stone for the dead of the Military SS. It pointed out that this memorial constitutes “a provocation for democratic-minded Germans, for the victims of Nazism and for everyone abroad.”

A Social Democratic meeting in Stuttgart also adopted a resolution voicing indignation at the “provocatory attitude” at Castle Staufeneck of former SS officers, “these unregenerate gravediggers of Germany.”
