Erneut #Hakenkreuz in #Kölleda: Zweiter Fall in dieser Woche

Am Mittwochabend ist in der Thüringer Kleinstadt Kölleda erneut ein Hakenkreuz an einer Hausfassade entdeckt worden. Eine unbekannte Person hatte das nationalsozialistische Symbol an die Fassade eines Geschäfts gesprüht, teilte die Polizei am Donnerstag mit. Es ist bereits der 21. Vorfall dieser Art in Kölleda seit Ende September, der bei der Polizei angezeigt wurde. Erst am Montag wurden zwei Hakenkreuze an einer Hausfassade in der Herrengasse gemeldet. Man geht davon aus, dass die Taten in Verbindung zueinander stehen, da eine ähnliche Farbe verwendet und ein ähnliches Umfeld ausgewählt wurde, wie eine Sprecherin der Polizei Thüringen sagte

Man, 45, to front #Brisbane court after outrage over #NaziFlag flown near #synagogue

A man will face court after allegedly flying a Nazi flag above a Brisbane synagogue at the weekend. The flag’s appearance has disgusted the city’s Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner, who wants tougher penalties around the use of hate symbols. A Queensland Police spokeswoman said police received a complaint on Saturday morning after the flag was seen out the window of an accommodation block on Margaret Street, which overlooks the heritage-listed Brisbane Synagogue. The flag flying out the window in Margaret Street on Saturday. Queensland Police arrived to removed the flag. The flag was seized just before 11am and a Brisbane man, 45, was charged with public nuisance. He will face court on November 30. The swastika is the symbol of the Nazi party, the far-right anti-Semitic German political party responsible for the murder of six million Jews during World War II. Saturday’s flag-flying is the latest use of Nazi imagery in Queensland in recent months – including graffiti at the Clapham rail yard at Moorooka in May – and comes as law enforcement bodies raise concerns over rising far-right extremism in Australia. Lord Mayor Adrian Schrinner shared a photo of the flag on Saturday – as well as his disgust over its appearance. “This is sickening. For someone to fly this symbol of hatred and genocide right above the Brisbane Synagogue on Margaret St is pure evil. It’s time for this vile flag to be banned in Queensland,” he wrote. “QLD needs to get serious about cracking down on these open displays of racial hatred.” The Brisbane Jewish community also aired their concerns over the flag’s appearance, with Queensland Jewish Board of Deputies vice president Jason Steinberg labelling the incident “sickening”. Meanwhile, Dr Dvir Abramovich, chairman of the Anti-Defamation Commission, said the incident was like “plunging a knife in the heart of Holocaust survivors” and “spitting in the face of the brave Diggers” who fought to defeat Hitler and his genocidal regimen.

In #Japan, why are Nazi-themed bars still opening?

‘Unfair’ opened on October 10 and closed two days later after swastika motifs and male staff in uniforms at Osaka venue proved unpopular online. Not the first time fascist regime’s props used by Japan’s businesses; simple ‘ignorance’ of the Holocaust or ‘bad education’ blamed by some, but not all. A host bar in Japan that dressed its male staff in Nazi uniforms and used the swastika symbol as its motif, down to the labels on champagne bottles handsome young men poured for their female clients, recently closed less than 48 hours after it opened due to an outcry on social media. And while the closure of the Osaka bar – named “Unfair” – and the removal of its website from the internet has been applauded, questions are being asked as to how the venue’s owners thought mimicking one of the most murderous regimes in history would be a selling point. This is not, after all, the first time that the architects of World War II and the masterminds of the Holocaust have been used as props for Japanese businesses. “It’s simply a matter of ignorance,” said Akio Yoshida, director of the Holocaust Education Centre, near the city of Hiroshima. “Far too many people in Japan simply do not know what happened in Europe in the last war, they don’t know that millions of people were persecuted and murdered.” “I imagine they thought the uniforms would just catch the attention of potential clients and that it would be different or unusual. The hosts in the pictures, I am sure, were simply doing as they were told and didn’t know any better about wearing a Nazi uniform…”

Southlake school leader tells teachers to balance Holocaust books with ‘opposing’ views

Teachers in the Carroll school district say they fear being punished for stocking classrooms with books dealing with racism, slavery and now the Holocaust. Following an administrator’s comments, teachers in Southlake, Texas, wondered if they would have to remove “Number the Stars” by Lois Lowry or other historical novels that tell the story of the Holocaust from the perspective of victims. A top administrator with the Carroll Independent School District in Southlake advised teachers last week that if they have a book about the Holocaust in their classroom, they should also offer students access to a book from an “opposing” perspective, according to an audio recording obtained by NBC News. Gina Peddy, the Carroll school district’s executive director of curriculum and instruction, made the comment Friday afternoon during a training session on which books teachers can have in classroom libraries. The training came four days after the Carroll school board, responding to a parent’s complaint, voted to reprimand a fourth grade teacher who had kept an anti-racism book in her classroom.
A Carroll staff member secretly recorded the Friday training and shared the audio with NBC News. “Just try to remember the concepts of [House Bill] 3979,” Peddy said in the recording, referring to a new Texas law that requires teachers to present multiple perspectives when discussing “widely debated and currently controversial” issues. “And make sure that if you have a book on the Holocaust,” Peddy continued, “that you have one that has an opposing, that has other perspectives.” “How do you oppose the Holocaust?” one teacher said in response. “Believe me,” Peddy said. “That’s come up.”

Nazi-themed bar in backlash over staff in WWII uniforms and swastika champagne bottles

The bar, called Unfair, has reportedly opened in Osaka, a modern city known for its nightlife around 500km southeast of the capital Tokyo, on the island of Honshu. A Nazi themed bar where staff dressed in WWII uniforms and serve from swastika-emblazoned champagne bottles has opened in Japan, according to reports. The bar, called Unfair, has reportedly opened in Osaka, a modern city known for its nightlife around 500km south east of the capital Tokyo, on the island of Honshu. Unfair is located in Minami, Osaka’s shopping, dining and nightlife centre, and one Reddit user spotted a truck adorned with advertising for the bar driving nearby, apparently in a bid to promote the club. But, perhaps inevitably, the idea has suffered from a backlash and bar management appears to have attempted to cull any trace of it from online host sites. Unfair is located in Minami, Osaka’s shopping, dining and nightlife centre. Unfair’s listing was posted on host sites Star Guys and Host x Host, and included photos of the hosts in full Nazi outfits and a video of good-looking staff posing and acting up to the camera. One listing read: “Get intoxicated with this new style host club!” Host bars, where attractive young men in uniform entertain paying customers, are popular. Upon entering the club, the client receives a “menu” with photos of the “hosts,” from which they choose someone, Polish media reported. A Twitter user, Mike Dezaki, also shared images of what he said was the inside of the establishment. The pictures showed what appears to be a young staff member clutching several swastika-emblazoned champagne bottles with an even larger symbol fixed to the wall behind him.

siehe auch: Ugh, Nazi-Themed Host Bar Opens In Osaka. The staff wear Nazi uniforms and serve champagne in swastika-emblazoned bottles. At host clubs, men serve customers their drinks, light their cigarettes, and make small talk with them. At a newly opened one in Osaka, they also dress as Nazis. That’s pretty fucked up. The name of the bar is Unfair, and its tagline is, “Life is a bet.” Reddit spotted a truck driving through Osaka emblazoned with the club’s name and…a swastika, and I’m guessing it was driving through the Minami entertainment district where Unfair is located. Unfair’s listing was posted on host sites Star Guys and Host x Host, and included photos of the hosts in full Nazi outfits and a video. One listing read, “Get intoxicated with this new style host club!”

Eine Stimme der Volksgemeinschaft

Es gibt Trottel und es gibt intelligente Menschen. Natürlich etliche Zwischenstufen. Zu den intelligenten Menschen habe ich mal den Chemnitzer Künstler und Hemdendesigner Gregor Torsten Kozik gezählt. Vor drei Jahren musste ich dann eine andere Erfahrung machen. Obwohl er mit einer dunkelhäutigen Venezolanerin verheiratet war (dass sie gestorben ist, habe ich erst später erfahren), hat er sich nach Rechtsaußen begeben. Pegida und Pro Chemnitz, vom sächsischen Verfassungsschutz als rechtsextrem eingeordnet, gehören zu seinen politischen Favoriten. Noch etwas mehr überrascht war ich heute am Morgen, als ich von Prof. Ines Bruhn auf Facebook einen Post sah, den ich nicht glauben konnte. Ich trank erst mal noch einen Kaffee, schaute noch einmal hin. Tatsächlich. Sie postet ein Bild aus dem NS-Regime, eine Frau mit dem Schild um den Hals „Ich bin aus der Volksgemeinschaft ausgestoßen“, auf einem öffentlichen Platz an den Pranger gestellt. „Für alle, die 3G, 2G oder 1G gut finden“, schreibt Bruhn dazu. Volksgemeinschaft. Aha. Bruhn ist offenbar aktive Impfverweigerin und fühlt sich deshalb aus der „Volksgemeinschaft“ ausgestoßen. (…) Wie widerlich ich diese Propaganda finde. Da es Widerspruch gegen ihre Entgleisung gab, hat sie das originale Foto durch ein Clownsbild ausgetauscht. Nun versteht keiner mehr, was denn die Kommentare eigentlich meinen. Und weil ich ihr den NS-Sprachgebrauch der „Volksgemeinschaft“ vorwerfe, antwortet sie, dass ja Politiker von der „Endlösung“ gegenüber Ungeimpften sprechen würden. Dieser Fake gegenüber dem CDU-Politiker Erwin Rüddel wurde schon lange widerlegt. Aber wenn man erst mal rechts außen angekommen ist, kommt es dann eben auf Fakten schon lange nicht mehr an.
