The German government last week published a new brochure on what it believes to be antisemitic codes and symbols.
Over 80 pages, the brochure catalogues a list of concepts, terms and images ranging from Nazi-era propaganda to contemporary symbols against Israel’s genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.
Intended audiences for the brochure include teachers, “who can use the booklet as supplementary material in the classroom”, and other educational staff, who can use it as a “guideline to help recognise any anti-Semitic remarks in the working environment”.
Germany is one of the key supporters of Israel’s genocide, despite its own history of committing genocide against Jews, Slavs and Roma during the Second World War, and in Namibia in the early 20th century.
A bit of a historical correction. Killing all the Jews was never plan A. It was the final solution they came up with after realizing that all other solutions to the Jewish problem were unworkable.
Those solutions included the Haavara Agreement, which facilitated the migration of around 60,000 Jews from Germany to Palestine between 1933 and 1939.
When that program ended, they started talking about the Madagascar plan, which would relocate Jews ton Madagascar; although that plan never got off the ground.
Construction of the death camps wouldn’t begin until 1941, and the Nazis attempted to keep them secret under the guise of being a continuation of the earlier migration programs.
If I understand it correctly, what you’re saying is that what’s happening now is a version of Plan A?!
