Statue of Peace in Berlin
- ... that the Statue of Peace in Berlin, made to remember the plight of "comfort women", has faced political backlash?

- Comment: the political backlash to the Statue of Peace in Berlin might be a worthy candidate for DYK, but the cited source https://monument-tracker.org/ is a blog for which the proposer has just been temporarily blocked for spamming. Wikishovel (talk) 06:14, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
- I will withdraw this. While I do have a source to use in the spammed link’s place, I don’t feel like rewarding the creator. SL93 (talk) 17:55, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
