Yesterday was Holocaust Remembrance Day, and my inbox was filled with a frightful variety of reminders. Much of it from Germany which takes its memorial duty seriously, with renewed effort, it looks like, given how NeoNazism raises its ugly head.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many individuals tweeted about signs in their neighborhoods of crimes past – and present – with a shared warning: Wehret den Anf\u00e4ngen<\/em> – Nip things in the bud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stumbling blocks in a 200 m radius of my apartment. Never forget. Nip it in the bud.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Organizations insisted that government representatives of the far-right AfD party were NOT welcome a memorial events, given that they had walked out when the former president of the Jewish Council gave a speech on the Holocaust in parliament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
Foundation Buchenwald (concentration camp) will not tolerate AfD participants.<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Politicians warned: Memorial culture is under attack from the extreme Right (Heiko Maas, German minister of foreign affairs.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Editorials stressed our vulnerability to hatred and the correspondent need to educate, again and again, about the tenets of democracy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"
No commemoration is immutable, nothing deemed certain is safe. Democracy and enlightenment, the rule of law, respect for minorities are all something that must be learned, over and over again.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

And how did world leaders commemorate the day? Chancellor Angela Merkel called on every single citizen to help fight anti-Semitism. Prime minister Theresa May visits Holocaust Educational Trust. Trudeau apologizes for inaction and apathy during the Nazi era. And our very own? Tweets something out in the afternoon and spews misleading anti-immigrant hate message some minutes later. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In line with Malaysia’s prime minister who would not allow hook-nosed <\/em> Israeli athletes to partake in the paralympics swimming event.

Closer to home you have Jewish museums call for remembrance, including our very own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And you have fearful reports on the increase of anti-Semitic hate crimes and an analysis of what underlies them, hate contagion, here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What moved me most, was a continued stream of images from the St. Louis Manifest: the names of those ship passengers who were returned by the US to face their death in German concentration camps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What made me think the hardest was an editorial from Germany (I am summarizing some excerpts): the author is worried that Holocaust remembrance has become a calcified ritual. Speeches in parliament by representatives of the victims, eloquent survivors or smart professors that try to appeal to our conscience, are followed by sad violin sonatas and wreath laying at the graves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

And then modern Germany takes a Selfie against the background of a horrid past that we have “worked through.” He then goes on to describe what is unfolding not just in Germany but worldwide, a turn to authoritarianism that rejects the lessons of the past and insists on minimizing the horror – if not existence – of the Holocaust. His conclusion: Auschwitz doesn’t help to prevent Auschwitz. It takes more than that. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Music is a different piece of violin music, energizing to fight, by our very own Portland composer David Schiff whose music is deeply rooted in the Jewish canon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
