Germany: *has a literal parking lot over Hitler’s death site and has the memorial for the murdered Jews right next to it*

Hannah Arendt - famous German Jewish philosopher and author, her works on totalitarianism, authority and the nature of power, who fled Nazi Germany in 1933
Cora Berliner - German Jewish economist and social scientist murdered in
Trostinets extermination camp
