Judaism - The representative will found alliance against antisemitism
Böttner Brandenburg's Antisemitism Commissioner Andreas Böttner intends to found a coalition of Mayors and Mayors against Antisemitism. He also plans to carry out educational work in schools in the future. His office is still being set up, but two employees will join in August, as Böttner told the German Press Agency in Potsdam. The former Left parliamentarian was elected as the first Antisemitism Commissioner of Brandenburg in June.
Böttner stated that he would write to the Mayors and Mayors within the next two weeks to establish a coalition against Antisemitism. A commissioner alone cannot solve the problems. He wants to strengthen the culture of remembrance and set a sign that Jewish existence and Judaism are present in society.
"There is a lot on the agenda," Böttner said about his goals in the new office. He wants to go to schools and sports clubs, for example. Together with the Jewish Communities Association in the State, Jewish stories will also be published, which deal with the rebuilding of the communities.
Böttner advocates compulsory visits to memorial sites for schoolgirls and schoolboys
Böttner speaks in favor of compulsory visits for schoolgirls and boys to memorial sites for dealing with Nazi past. "I would also like it if as many schoolgirls and boys as possible could go to Auschwitz." He is exploring possibilities for this. Since the Islamic terrorist organization Hamas attacked Israel, antisemitic crimes have also increased in Brandenburg.
Böttner is to be the contact person for the approximately 2000 Jewish women and men in Brandenburg.
