[net.religion.jewish] Resurgence of hatred

mf@cornell.UUCP (mf) (04/03/85)

Today I saw a new series of fresh antisemitic graffiti on campus
(``Kill, burn and roast a jew'' being some of the mildest).  They
appear along with anti-black and anti-gay ones, and more virulent
in the Engineering school than in Arts.

I think that this cannot be easily dismissed, for it is indicative
of latent racism.  Nor do I think that it is merely the product of
a couple of individuals who should just be ignored. 

Have any of the readers noticed a resurgence of such activities,
and what do you think should be done?

     The Sunday issue of the NY Times states that the Jewish experience
     in Buchenwald has been almost eliminated from recollection by the
     German authorities since the enlargement of the Buchenwald museum.

     The 40-page guidebook to the museum mentions the killing of the 
     Jews only three times.  The purpose of the death camps according
     to the new guidebook was to "put down any resistance" to Nazism.
     In addition, the "terror [of the death camps] centered on the
     Communists and militant Social Democrats who were the hard core of
     the resistance."

     The fact that the death camps were really built to destroy the
     entire Jewish people, various non-Aryan races, and homosexuals
     and gypsies has now been covered up by the sons of the Nazi 
     murderers.
