Aussageprotokoll BpB “Anna und Mohammed”
Context:
Anna Boros was born in Arad, Romania in 1925. When her parents split up, she moved with her mother to live with her grandmother in Berlin. When the National Socialists came to power in 1933, the life of the family changed: As a Jew, Anna was no longer able to attend school or complete an apprenticeship due to National Socialist legislation. Her wish to become a pediatric nurse, which initially seemed possible in a Jewish children’s home, is thwarted by the closure of all Jewish institutions. Due to the expropriation of the family business, Anna cannot start training there either. With the beginning of the deportation of Jews, the persecution of the family increased: Anna, her uncle and her grandmother went underground in 1942. Your doctor, the Berlin-based Egyptian Dr. Mohamed Helmy, helps the family go underground and also provides them with food. With his support, she survived the Shoah and remained in deep friendship with Helmy until her death. Source: Statement protocol, BpB “Mohammed & Anna”, 1937.

The idea of a good and normalized Germany is opposed to a reality in which people still have to fear that the police will pass on their addresses to Nazis, that weapons are hoarded and that explosives will simply disappear from the stocks of the Bundeswehr. And the anticipation of gratitude for the (not only) Jewish reconciliation obscures the fact that the German history of violence is not over because one side wants it to be. But that it continues to create life-threatening realities in new formations and perpetuate injustice. In the face of this situation, the equation of memory and reconciliation must be called for what it is: an expression of the needs of a section of this society which is ashamed of its actions and wishes this unpleasant story to be resolved very soon. The hope contained therein for normalization from the national anthem to home is part of this wishful thinking. That may be understandable, it may also be politically opportune – but it does not apply to all people who live in this country. And who are heartbroken about what has been done to them and their families. And it will stay that way.

Diversity in all its forms is first and foremost a reality, a general condition. It is an opportunity to enable encounters and learning experiences. It is a means and not an obstacle to unity. It is a treasure for humanity as it is part of the intangible heritage. Identity is a fundamental part of the individual. It is not monolithic, but can be multiple. It brings together different realities: religious, national, cultural, linguistic and others. We see our identities as inclusive: as sources of fulfillment and rootedness that enable us to open up to others and to get to know their identities.

Germany, Martin Luther (1483-1546)
Martin Luther is considered a radical reformer of the medieval Protestant church. His posting of the 95 theses on the castle church in Wittenberg, in which he questioned the infallibility of Catholic authority, led to the division of the church. Luther’s theologically based anti-Judaism branded the Jews as the worst enemies of Christianity who necessarily incurred God’s wrath. Parts of his resentment were reactivated in the modern anti-Semitism of the 19th and 20th centuries.

Once the Jews had emigrated, they could come into contact unhindered with their racial comrades from the rest of the world and do more damage to the deserted country than before. […] In addition, the Jews were getting closer to their goal of establishing a Jewish nation state” […]. I would like to allow myself to draw your attention to the fact that it would be very appropriate and more appropriate to prevent the Jews from emigrating from your country and to send them to where they are under strong control, e.g. to Poland. This avoids their danger and does a good, grateful deed towards the Arab people…

Al-Husseini was an Islamic clergyman and Palestinian Arab nationalist from one of Jerusalem’s most influential families. He became known as the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem.

Context:
Amin al-Husseini played a decisive role in the spread of modern anti-Semitism in the Arab region and the cooperation between Islamist anti-Semites and the National Socialists. He was a staunch supporter of the extermination of European Jews in the German Reich and in the areas occupied by Germany. He made contact with the National Socialists, won support from German leadership circles and lived in Berlin from October 1941 until the end of the Second World War. During this time he became a member of the SS and carried out propaganda for Germany in Arabic. In the late stages of the World War, al-Husseini helped mobilize Muslims for the Waffen SS in the Balkans. After the war, al-Husseini was wanted as a war criminal in several European countries and handed over to the French authorities after his arrest in Switzerland. After France, England and the USA for strategic reasons refrained from indicting Husseini as a war criminal, he found asylum in Egypt in 1946, from where he pursued his ideas. As a result of the massive flight of Palestinians that began with the Palestinian War of 1948, he lost his political leadership position, which eventually passed to the PLO under Yasser Arafat.

This quote reflects very well what can be called “banal antisemitism” (after the paradigm of Michel Billig’s “banal nationalism”): a way of thinking shared by a large number of ordinary people, not the usual loudmouthed antisemites of the Far Right. Metropolitan Theophilos, for example, was a mainstream, conservative prelate; “Typos tis Kyriakis”, the newspaper that hosted his article, is not a fascist outlet but the Sunday edition of the mainstream conservative “Eleftheros Typos”, a newspaper identified since 1984 with the New Democracy party. Theophilos’ article was published on the occasion of Easter and dealt mostly with the allegedly “anti-religious” policies of the PASOK government then in power. The previous year, the Greek Orthodox Church had mobilized its followers against the removal of religious affiliation from the citizens’ new ID cards. This measure had been attributed by the right-wing faction of New Democracy, who had just formed the LAOS party (Popular Orthodox Rally), not only to “international Jewish pressure” on the Greek government but also to an imaginary “Jewish descent” of the Greek Prime Minister of those days, Kostas Simitis.

Context:
The preponderance of the Israelite community of Salonica, the main harbor and city of Ottoman Macedonia (61.439 inhabitants or 39% of its population according to the first Greek census in 1913), was considered as a negative factor for Greek irredentism. Kavalla was the region’s second port. According to the Ottoman census of 1905, it was inhabited mostly by Greek-speaking Orthodox Christians (11.242) and Moslem Turks (8.562), plus 1.862 Jews and around 1.000 unregistered Slav sojourners; it was, therefore, considered as one of the main Greek strongholds in Southern Macedonia. The Greek politico-military apparatus had already been waging since 1906 a drastic economic war, coupled with a number of terrorist attacks, against the smaller Bulgarian communities in both Salonica and Kavalla. In Salonica, recommendations by local Greek merchants for an enlargement of the scope of such operations, in order to hit their Jew professional rivals, were tactfully turned down by the leaders of the Greek Organization, who were very conscious to avoid an eventual dangerous backlash. It seems that. for similar reasons, the Vice-Consul’s suggestion for “a systematic underground economic war against the Jews” in Kavalla did not materialize. The town was finally incorporated into the Greek state after the second Balkan war, in 1913.
