Nazi Death March Museum Firebombed

BERLIN -- German authorities have posted a $10,000 reward for clues leading to an arrest in the worst anti-Semitic attack on a Holocaust memorial in a decade, the firebombing of a museum honoring the victims of a Nazi death march.

The attack Thursday night destroyed the main exhibition of the death march museum in the Belower Woods, which detailed how the Nazis drove concentration camp inmates deeper into Germany as the Soviet Army advanced at the end of World War II.

Outside the museum, vandals painted a big red swastika and two SS symbols on a memorial, and an anti-Semitic slogan three feet by 18 feet along the base of a large memorial column.

More than 45,000 prisoners forced to march from Ravensbrueck and Sachsenhausen, both in Brandenburg state were gathered in the Belower Woods near Wittstock, 65 miles northwest of Berlin, where 700-800 died of exhaustion and hunger within a few days.

Snip:

The attack came as a new study by researchers at Berlin's Free University and the University of Leipzig showed anti-Semitism is increasing in Germany, with more than a quarter of respondents telling researchers they believe Jewish influence is too great.

Comparing a poll from 1994 to April 2002 it appears that the number of individuals that believe Jewish influence is to great have doubled since 1994 (see poll).

A significant portion of those polled partially believe that Jewish influence is to great(see poll).

If only it were true...

Jews come in all sizes shapes and colors. Their eyes can be brown, green, blue and even violet/purple like Elizabeth Taylor. Hair (they can even be bald) color can range from light blond to black and can actually be found in any color. Their complexion and height varies.

Most people wouldn’t recognize a Jew if they passed him/her on the street. I think most people could step out of bed and decide to pawn themselves off as a Jew.

Why the results in the poll?

The media most likely shapes the thought process of individuals through propaganda. Of course parental influence plays a significant part in seeding anti Semitism but parents/guardians still have to be indoctrinated into that line of thinking from somewhere.

The second that you put someone down you elevate yourself and in your mind you begin to feel more important. I believe the individuals that participated in the poll must be suffering from complexes and low self esteem. In other words they feel that in the greater scope of things they aren’t important and that makes them jealous of Jews.

I think that the jealousy stems from the fact that many individuals believe that all Jews are rich and their money buys influence and power.

It’s a fallacy to think that all Jews are powerful individuals controlling the media and all the riches of the world because its simply not so. There are rich Jews to be sure, as there are rich non-Jews. I suppose all the focus is placed on them (rich Jews) and the deduction is made (erroneously) that all Jews are rich.

The line of thinking for that is most likely the same as if a person went into a store and one clerk gave them a bad time and automatically every individual in the store became bad individuals.

Anti Semitism has had a long time to fester and grow unchecked through generations and will most likely continue to do so and eradicating it will be difficult if not impossible.
