You're probably right about the original Grimm's tales, as they came from the state of Hesse next to the state of Bavaria, even if any dark forest would be scary for kids
According to that monument design, the six glass towers recall “the six main death camps, the six million Jews who died, or a menorah of memorial candles” . I might be wrong but a menorah is a 7- or 9-branched candelabrum, isn't it ?

I think there's an essential difference between the British and the Americans: In the U.S., they revile and barely remember the names of treasonous traitors who tried to destroy their way of life. In the U.K., they have holidays in honour of such efforts. 😉
Here's another ancient example from Rome, of the emperor Septimius Severus with wife, son Nero, and....wait, who's the other kid?You can kind of guess who was responsible for this.
Damnatio memoriae ! ???Tondo of the Severan family, with portraits of Septimius Severus, Julia Domna, Caracalla, and Geta. Geta's face has been erased, because of the damnatio memoriae ordered by his brother. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Damnatio_memoriae http://ancienthistory.about.com/od/romannames1/a/EmperorsErased.htm
