Post-WWII hugs the roots of Germany, member of the first Jewish Cabinet against the rising anti-Semitism

Berlin – The mother of Karin Prieni was emergency when the mother of the 1960s brought it to Germany: “Do not say that you are Jewish to anyone.”

After about six decades, Prien, now education, family affairs, elderly citizens, women and youth, old citizens, women and young people became a member of the first Jewish Federal Wardrobe.

Prien CBS told the news that the increase in anti-Semitism in Germany and the fragility of anti-Semitism and democracy in another region and the fragility of democracy.

“Well, in a way, proud,” said Minister CBS in an open interview. “I am proud to be a minister in the federal government, and I will be recognized as a Jew and so far (developed) so far (developed) so far (developed) this society is the right to be a conscious part of this society.”

Prien’s political career and personal story, the Holocaust represents an arc of conflict, tension and reconciliation, which is an echo in Germany itself.

“Issue of responsibility”

Those who left the Holocaust in the Netherlands, moved to Germany at the age of 4. As a child, he was very aware of the silence around his family’s identity. His mother’s warning was very dangerous to talk about being a Jew, – more than two decades of war, shapes the first years.

“There was always a fear. My mother still has a lot of Nazi around.” “It wasn’t taken so you could talk about being Jewish. It was something you kept inside the house.”

However, this silence was eventually unbearable. As a young young man, he said he was democratic values ​​that he demanded protection against human dignity, human dignity, discrimination and discrimination.

“I decided:” I have to do something about it. Democracy is not something you can take for you, “he said.

However, Prien was still decades before he would open the Jewish personality.

The turning point came when he was a member of the State Parliament in early 2010. Prien began to press systematic documentation of anti-Semitic events in schools. When a journalist asked why the issue was so important, he said: “Because I am Jews,” he said.

“It was the moment I realized that it was a political voice,” he said. “I had some kind of influence. It was a matter of responsibility for me.”

Classes for today’s threats from the past

This is the feeling of responsibility, weighing in today’s German prien, where anti-Semitism has no longer limited political fringes.

“We see the rising antisemitism all over the world,” he said. “They dared to be open anti-Semitic. I think it’s more than the end of World War II. They dared to be open anti-Semitic Also in Germany become stronger and become strong. This has changed. Thus, we have anti-Semitic trends in the margins, but also in the middle of society. “

In Germany, he said that he was a historical settlement model, Prien, he was afraid of satisfaction.

In some “honest decades,” said Prien, the Germans’ faced with the strongest realities of the countries, ” People die. Now we need to find new ways to talk about it. “

Prien thinks that he should include a turn in Holocaust education. German schools wants to expand the current attention of German schools to teach the history of World War II, Israeli history, cultural contribution of Jewish Germans and the cultural contribution of anti-Semitism.

“Jewish personality is part of the German personality,” Cbs said. “Youth should know that the Jews are not only victims. The Jewish people are different. He has a voice. This is part of society.”

Prien said he was inspired by figures, including Margot FriedländerA Holocaust surviving tower that expresses a popular way: “Become a man”.

This should be the basis of any education system in Prien, democracy: to teach empathy and human dignity.

However, this is not only the historical facts and universal dignity in need of defense, but also a democratic part of Germany.

“We are immigration society,” said Prien. “But we did not have a fair and equal chance for the children who started with more difficult conditions.”

It coordinates educational capital and national democratic strength.

Prien, now German elementary schools make efforts to restrict mobile telephone use, and the parents and politicians are making efforts to be very naive regarding the risks of digital exposure to young people.

“We are concerned about the real world. We drive our children to school and classrooms, but we are not worried about online items.” “This should change.”

Today, the young Jews, who are political ambitions in Germany, asked: “Don’t stay.” Do not pick up your bag. This is a different Germany. This is our job to make this promise every day. “
