The internal article on 57 pages is intended for employees and security officers to exclude people from visiting the site who want to use the previous concentration camp as the stage of their political requirements, said the manager Memorial Jens Cristin Wagner from TAZ. This includes, in particular, the propaganda actions of the right extremists. Nevertheless, the document also addresses the supposedly anti -Israeli symbols. And they have all this.
Because harmless characters are also dangerous and, thus, may explain anti -Semitic symbols. Kufi Palestinian fabric says that this is “closely connected with the desire to destroy Israel.” In addition: “Wearing Kufiya can most likely mean sympathy for the militant hostility towards Israel.”
In addition to the correct references to anti -Israeli and thus, potentially anti -Semitic symbols, such as the red triangles that advocate the Hamas terrorist organization, or the map on which the Israeli state is erased, the “Crossing of the Fire” (now the ceasefire) is a “unilateral requirement for the distance of Zarail”. Even US President Donald Trump promoted this desire. In addition to stone ingots and keys, an olive branch can be “understood as a denial of the right of Jews to life in Israel”. The display of watermelons often goes hand in hand to the “slogans of anti -Semitism associated with Israel.”
Threats of murder on the network
Readers of these excerpts reacted with indignation. The memorial director Wagner announced the threats of death on the Internet against employees of the memorial, but also about the expression of solidarity. He continued against the “insults of the desert of my colleagues on the Web. We cannot tolerate it. ”
Wagner spoke about the “shit storm”, which is currently investing on its object, taking into account such compositions. “I am not satisfied with this,” Wagner said about the newspaper. He himself did not know the handout and shared the criticism of some formulations. “I am sharing an assessment that it needs a revision,” he said. There are also conversations about the “controversial areas” for “occupied areas.” This is wrong. It must be clear that “criticism of the policy of the Israeli government itself is not anti -Semitic,” said Wagner. Revision of distribution material is already in the process.
The internal document submitted after visiting lawyers from Schleswig-Holstein in the judiciary memorial, and found a way to the public from there. According to Wagner, the transfer from the hands of the memorial should not have occurred.
Buchenwald as a scene
The reason for comprehensive attempts to interpret the anti -Israeli symbols were repeating attempts by communist groups to protest against the war in Gaza in Buchenwald and, thus, put them in line with national socialist crimes. According to Wagner, this was done at the celebration on May 8 and on the occasion of memory of the death of the leader of the Communist Party of Ernst Tyalmann in 1944 and is not allowed.
“Nevertheless, the real problem in Buchenwald is not related to Israel related to anti-Semitism, but they are German right extremists,” Wagner said. That is why four times more pages in conflicting handout are devoted to this right extremism and its cipher. These explanations will have to be regularly updated, even from the new cliches of clothing. Distributions, such as from Buchenwald, are also produced and used by other Nazi memorials to draw attention to typical accessories of the neo -Nazis scenes.
Just a few months ago, Wagner clarified the distance from the Israeli government when it sharply criticized the invitation of the Israeli philosopher Omri Bom to the memorial. He was alarmed by influence and warned about the distortion of history. BEM, who was suggested by Jerusalem by the behavior of anti -Israeli behavior, is “an absolutely respectable, great, world -famous philosopher,” he said.
