Do the Sudeten Germans who were tortured and killed during their expulsion at the end of the war deserve a monument or not?

In response to a stone monument to the victims of the expulsion in Nový Bor, a group of local inhabitants has unleashed a hate-filled ritual dance of national fervor and moral outrage that turns out to be a sufficiently strong election issue as well.
