Wow. Taking a fringe opinion even within the German/international Jewish community and posting as if this was the majority opinion is interesting at least.
Please don't make it into a flame war. Because I strongly believe this is a topic that needs to be discussed. Esp. given the background in Germany with gravestones as plaster.
But also it needs to be acknowledged that the project does absolutely not intend a "mit Füßen treten" ("to trample upon") mentality towards history, memory or Jews.
It is totally valid and important to discuss if the benefits outweigh the feeling of some that it might enable people to "trample upon the Jewish names". I personally tend to lean towards the benefits. But I can totally understand people on the other side of the fence.
Implying that this is a majority opinion on the other hand is imho definitely not the right way to go about it.
- DocTomoe 4y agoIn the spirit of beneficial discussion: Nowhere I implied that that was a majority opinion with Jews. It was - however - a popular opinion of influential members of Jewish organisations within Munich, back when the ban was originally enacted.
