Network against the Extreme Right The Anti-Nazi Demo and a delicacy coming from Greece… I called Fritz Burschel, the director of the "Netzwerkstelle gegen Rechts und Racismus", on the phone many times, looking for collaboration. I always admired the fact that he deals with the hardest issue which burdens this country. We came in contact on the right time -it was late June- just before the big Nazi Demo took place in Jena. During the Anti-Nazi Demo meeting, which took place in Jena on the 29th of May, the city of Weimar gave to the city of Jena as a present a signboard. On it was written: "Intoleranz und Antishimitismus? Weimar Sagt Nein!" Representatives of both cities held a speech on the site. I took Fritz's place. I may be a foreigner, but I am also a European citizen. Holding the signboard with the name of this city on it during the presentation, I took the place of an official representative of Weimar. Remarkable was that … these guys were amazingly humorous. |
