Palestinians desecrating Holocaust victims' memories in Berlin

Israeli Arabic site Makan reports:

The Jewish community in the German capital, Berlin, expressed its anger over a Palestinian art project scheduled to take place over the weekend in the Neukölln district, arguing that it links the ongoing war in the Gaza Strip to the Holocaust by using sites dedicated to commemorating Jewish victims killed during the Nazi era.

The project, titled “Walking with Gaza Monologues,” is an initiative organized by the “Ashtar” Theater in Ramallah. It involves taking participants on a tour, using an audio guide, among the copper “stumbling blocks” planted in the sidewalks of the neighborhood streets, which commemorate the Jews who lived there and perished in the Holocaust, while at the same time the participants listen to testimonies and monologues of residents of the Gaza Strip.

Dr. Elio Adler, a prominent figure in Berlin's Jewish community, described the project as an affront to the memory of Holocaust victims and demanded its immediate cancellation. He stated that the "stumbling blocks" are not merely urban elements or public symbols of suffering, but each one bears a person's name and address and commemorates a Jewish life lost during the Holocaust. He argued that using them in this context conflates Israel's war against Hamas with the memory of the Holocaust.

Adler called for an immediate halt to the tours, demanding an investigation into how public funds reached the project and for action to be taken against those responsible, noting that the event, in his view, contradicts the principles that emphasize the privacy and centrality of Holocaust remembrance in Germany.

This is truly outrageous, and even more so if it is funded by German public funds. 

I could not find this story in any German or English language outlet at this time. But Dr. Elio Adler is a leader of the Berlin Jewish community, Ashtar is a Palestinian theatre company, and they have sponsored "The Gaza Mono-logues" worldwide together with dozens of local theatres since 2010, updating it periodically.
