Controversy over Nazi monument in Swiss cemetery.
A Nazi monument in the Swiss town of Chur has sparked controversy after research by a local journalist revealed links to Nazi Germany. The 13-tonne stone monument was built in 1938 for propaganda reasons, for the Nazi regime. The monument is now covered in moss and the engravings on it are difficult to discern. Consensus seems to be forming around a proposal to re-examine and publicise that period in Swiss history, just as Switzerland had to re-examine, and apologise for, its treatment of Jewish refugees during the war.
