This list is part of an ongoing investigative project the Forward first published in January 2021 documenting hundreds of monuments around the world to people involved in the Holocaust. We are continuing to update each country’s list; if you know of any not included here, or of statues that have been removed or streets renamed, please email [email protected], subject line: Nazi monument project.
Many Nazi collaborators in this project have monuments in multiple countries. Some have honors in neighboring nations that were once part of a single political entity. Others, especially Eastern European collaborators, have monuments in their native lands as well as in the West; the latter were typically built by elements within diaspora communities in the U.S. and elsewhere.
The index lists which country/countries an individual, organization or military formation has honors in. Links to country pages are found below.
