Calau fights against anti -Semitism: Mayor intervenes

in the small town of Calau, in the Oberspreewald-Lausitz district, an anti-Semitic Facebook post ensures outrage and now has serious consequences. The city officially filed a complaint after a message was spread on the Facebook page of a change tailoring that issued a house ban. The mayor of Calau, Marco Babenz, immediately had a banner with the slogan "Calau is colorful" at the town hall to set an example against the burgeoning anti -Semitism. This measure underlines the city's commitment to tolerance and respectful coexistence, especially in times when anti -Semitic incidents have increased again in this country. The incident was dealt with in detail in a report of the daily mirror.

The Facebook post in question, which has now been deleted, commented in such a provocative that he immediately attracted the attention of the police. According to RBB24, the police are now investigating suspicion of sedition. The operator of the tailoring, who works in both Calau and Kleinmachnow, vehemently resisted the allegations and claims that his Facebook account was hacked. He also explains that all customers are very welcome, regardless of their origin,. The police have announced that it would be responsible for the person who should be responsible for the post office, and there is no information about the accused to protect their personal rights.

The echoing echo of anti -Semitism

Recently, anti-Semitic incidents in Germany, such as burned Israel flags in pro-Palestinian demonstrations, have increasingly gained attention. The conflict between Hamas and Israel has apparently raised many social tensions. Anti-Semitism remains a multi-layered phenomenon, which is expressed in traditional, modern and structural forms, as described in the analyzes of the Statista-Tthemeportal. These developments are highlighting the social challenges with which we are confronted.

Andreas Büttner, the anti -Semitism representative of the state of Brandenburg, told RBB24 concerns about the version of the tailor. In a phone call, the operator emphasized that about 60 percent of his customers were Jewish and encouraged the hack to be reported to the police. Such incidents can occur in social networks, educational institutions and in public locations and are part of a worrying trend that society should not ignore.

social support against anti -Semitism

The incident in Calau is not only a local problem, but also reflects a greater social challenge: anti -Semitism is still present in Germany, about 70 years after the Holocaust. In 2022, the Federal Ministry for the Interior counted over 2,600 anti -Semitic offenses, whereby the majority of these actions can be assigned to the right -wing extremist spectrum. Awareness of this problem is essential to promote respectful coexistence and to counter inhuman attitudes.

whether in small cities or large metropolises - Germany's society is faced with the task of decidedly positioning itself against anti -Semitism and other forms of discrimination. Calau shows that a strong sign can also be set at the local level to strengthen diversity and tolerance and to enable a common, peaceful coexistence.
