...happens to be the name of a town in France ("La Mort aux Juifs").

The Simon Wiesenthal Center is asking the French government to change the name. Should they?

Wasn't there a town of 50 in Spain recently which held an election and voted to change theirs ?

In the French case, the town's leadership seems to be opposed to the idea though due to "tradition":
