Anti-Semitic incident in German school

[Behind the Aegis]

BERLIN (EJP)--- School children in a German state where neo-Nazis are in parliament forced a girl pupil to parade in the playground holding aloft a sign saying that she was the "biggest pig" for having befriended Jews.

The language on the sign was straight from the Nazi era when women who befriended or cohabited with Jews were singled out for state humiliation.

"I am the biggest pig in this place because I hang around with Jews," read the placard that the 16-year-old was forced to carry.

It is unclear whether the girl actually had Jewish friends.

The secondary school in Parey in Saxony was raided by police on Thursday after the incident, and three pupils were detained for questioning.

5. Horrible.

That poor girl. I have to wonder if any Jews even live in that area.

As for this >>Experts blame high unemployment in the east – over 20 per cent in some places – and the Communist regime that ruled for 40 years for making Nazism glamorous to a generation that did not experience its horrors.<<

wasn't unemployment one of the reasons for Nazism the first time around?

6. The east has severe economic problems.

It is highly unlikely that any of these kids has ever seen a Jew except on TV.

7. There are some desperate people in Russia who are actually

advocating for a return of Stalinism.

Of the entire former Red Curtain, only the Czech Republic and Hungary are actually doing ok economically.
