One of the 5 stained glass windows of the Augsburg Cathedral (dated about the year 1140) usually called “Propheten-Fenster” (prophet-windows) in German has the biblical figure of Daniel (the other are Moses, Yona, Hosea and King David, who – as well known and maybe oldest known cartoon figures in Augsburg we use as guides in our Jewish history tours in the city. There also are animated version of them, which soon will be released as videos.
Today Nawi Daniel greets !אוגסבורג שלום – Augsburg, Shalom!
At his visit at the local synagogue Augsburg mayor Dr. Kurt Gribl condemned recently noted local manifestations of Antisemitism as spillover effect of the so-called “Gaza-War” and promissed to fight them back. If required he also considered to ban demonstrations when it is foreseeable that the demonstrations will have Antisemitic and violent intentions, as it is practise in cases of domestic extrem rightwingers. Mayor Gribl also assured the Jews of Augsburg his solidarity and that of all the other religious communities in Augsburg, also by the heads of the Muslim community in Augsburg.
Mayor Gribls visit has a special value since he chose the 8th of August which is a legal holiday in Augsburg (not in neighboring communities, Bavaria, Germany, Europa or elsewhere in the world), the “Friedensfest” (Festival of Peace).
Der gezeigte Tierversuch (Tierschützer: Abspann des Videos beachten!) stammt aus dem letztem Jahr und wird aus besonderem Wunsch und aktuellen Anlass (Ostern steht vor der Tür, Pessach ist in der Wohnung) nochmals gezeigt.
