Shouting “Allahu-akbar”: Anti-Semitic attack on Holocaust memorial in Frankfurt, Germany

Shocking, disgusting and cowardly: A group of “youths” attacked Jewish visitors to the Holocaust memorial in Frankfurt today, Thursday. At first only verbally, then even bottles were thrown. The perpetrators repeatedly shouted “Allahu akbar”.

Particularly precarious: During the attack, 25 guests from all over the world were in the memorial. It was a visitors’ programme for children and grandchildren of Jews born and persecuted in Frankfurt. They commemorated the deportation of Frankfurt Jews during the National Socialist era – and got an impression of what Germany will be like in 2023-.

Mayor Mike Josef (SPD) expressed his horror in the newspaper FAZ: “This is completely unacceptable.” The incident proves that the “fight against anti-Semitism and racism is an everlasting one”, “unfortunately also in our city”.

A city employee allegedly rebuked the cowardly anti-Semitic attackers. The “FAZ” reports from Frankfurt that the perpetrators then apologised and fled. The State Security Service is investigating them for attempted grievous bodily harm.
