Fighting against anti-Semitism is urged by Merz
In a poignant and emotional speech, Federal Chancellor Friedrich Merz declared war on all forms of old and new anti-Semitism in Germany. The declaration was made during the reopening of the Reichenbachstraße Synagogue in Munich, a significant step in the restoration of Jewish life in the country.
Merz, a child of the post-war generation, grew up with 'Never again' as a mission, a duty, a promise. This promise was evident in his speech as he remembered the inhuman crimes committed by the National Socialists against Jews.
The comprehensive restoration of the Reichenbachstraße synagogue, which took place 87 years after its destruction by the National Socialists, was a result of efforts to preserve and promote Jewish culture in Germany. The initiative for the restoration was taken by Rachel Salamander from the Reichenbachstraße Synagogue Association.
Salamander, deeply moved by the synagogue's severe decay, felt a responsibility to preserve this historic and cultural Jewish site. The synagogue holds the legacy of her generation and the post-war Jewish community. Her efforts aimed to reestablish Jewish life and culture there.
Merz expressed horror that anti-Semitism has flared up again in Germany. He expressed his hope that Jewish life in Germany would no longer require police protection. His declaration against anti-Semitism emphasizes the federal government's commitment to combating discrimination against Jews in Germany.
The reopening of the Reichenbachstraße synagogue serves as a reminder of the historical crimes committed by the National Socialists against Jews in Germany. The event was attended by Merz, underscoring the government's commitment to preserving and promoting Jewish culture.
Merz showed deep emotion during the reopening, emphasizing the importance of the occasion. His speech during the reopening included a declaration against anti-Semitism, marking a strong stance against discrimination. The resurgence of anti-Semitism in Germany, he stated, shames him.
The reopening of the Reichenbachstraße synagogue in Munich, Germany, is a testament to the efforts being made to preserve and promote Jewish culture in the country. It signifies a step towards a future where Jewish life in Germany is no longer marred by the spectre of anti-Semitism.
