Jewish Community in Copenhagen is furious: an event to mark Kristallnacht – turned into a fundraising evening for the purchase of an ambulance for the people of Gaza.
The event took place on Sunday in Copenhagen in memory of the Jewish victims who were killed during Kristallnacht in Austria and Germany. During the event donations were collected for the purchase of an ambulance for Gaza residents. Red Green Party chairman announced that the donations collected that evening will be devoted to the purchase of an ambulance.
President of the Jewish Community in Copenhagen, Dr. Dan Rosenberg, told the media that this is an unfair attempt to collect money for an ambulance for a country which is at war with Israel. "This is unfortunate and repulsive that people try to compare the murder committed by the Germans of the Jewish people and Israel's war in Gaza."
Alan Ahmed, a member of the Leftist Red-Green Party, who spoke at the event, said that the intention of raising funds is to stop the discrimination between blood and blood.
Director of the Center for the Study of the Holocaust and genocide in Denmark, Joffe Justergard, said that he sees benefiting the enemies of Israel, an attempt to make money from the suffering of the Jews, and mock the feelings of the Jewish community in the evening in commemoration of the killing and murder of its people.
Kristallnacht took place on the sixteenth Cheshvan 5699 in Germany. This was a pogrom that destroyed nearly all synagogues in Germany, many Jewish cemeteries, thousands of Jewish-owned stores and 29 department stores. More than thirty thousand Jews were arrested, often on preset lists, and sent to concentration camps. On this night of rioting 400 people were killed. In the coming days 400 other people lost their lives. In Buchenwald concentration camp, 207 Jews were murdered; In Dachau some 185 people; the number of victims in the concentration camp of Sachsenhausen is unknown.
