BONN REPORT: Bonners on Kippah Day Oppose the Hate of BN Jews On Thursday, July 19, 2018, several hundred people in Bonn and the Lord Mayor have an impressive message against anti-Semitism and solidarity with Jews Ashok Sridharan and the synagogue of Bonn at Kippah Day in the market. By their appearance, we jointly express our commitment to deal with the growing hatred of our Jewish fellow citizens, said Sridharan.
Last week, the mayor had strongly condemned the anti-Semitic attack against a guest researcher in Bonn and the women of Bonn. and invited Bonner to "Kippah Day". "The fight against anti-Semitism must be part of the political culture in Germany.
Given the darkest chapter in German history, there can be no fatal blow in the memories of atrocities of National Socialism for democracy in Germany, "said Sridharan. He regretted that anti-Semitic hostility in Germany also comes from the middle of society. Bonn Jews are increasingly frightened by the provocations and insults that emanate from migrants in the Arab states. Even more clear was Dr. Margaret Traub, president of the congregation of the synagogue in Bonn: "It is unbearable that we are attacked for one reason only: because we are Jews". A democracy in which Jews are defamed is weakened in their fundamental values; the more hatred of the Jews takes over, the more the democracy is in danger. Therefore, she thanked "all those who give us courage and strength in the gloomy times". Dr. Martin Frick, Director of Policy and Program Coordination at the United Nations Climate Change Secretariat (UNFCCC), said: "Freedom of dissent is the basis of all cooperation. Religious freedom and religious tolerance are at the heart of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. This is why the United Nations organizations in Bonn welcome the initiative of the city and support it by conviction. "Lord Mayor Sridharan called for a thorough investigation of the anti-Semitic attack by the Israeli professor of the United States by the police, but also the serious allegations of the victim against the police must be pursued:" It must be fully clarified , which happened exactly this Wednesday afternoon in the courtyard garden. "Finally, Ashok Sridharan thanked all participants for the awesome sign: However, Kippa Day was not enough it was a clear but ultimately singular sign against anti-Semitism. "In everyday life, every citizen of Bonn is called upon to counter hatred for Jews and to show solidarity," said the mayor .
