Coronavirus: Comparing the actions of anti-Russian people with the persecution of Jews fails – Aktuality.sk

It is not possible to compare anti-anti-Russian action to the persecution of Jews in Nazi Germany. This is emphasized by the Central Union of Jewish Religious Communities (ÚZŽNO) in Slovakia in response to the statements of the member of the opposition Smer-SD Ľuboš Blah.

Diametral situational difference

The chairman of ÚZŽNO, Richard Duda, draws attention to the diametrical situational difference and the inappropriate reminder of the events of Crystal Night in 1938, with the police acting towards those who do not respect the applicable regulations.

“A person is born to a Jew, the origin cannot be influenced. The state deprived them of their property, rights, dignity and life without guilt, for something that cannot be changed by will or decision, “Duda pointed out the context of the events of November 9-10, 1938.

“Anti-Russian people have deliberately decided to break regulations, endanger the health of others and exacerbate the tense atmosphere in society. They came into conflict with the state by their own decision to promote their worldview at all costs. Therefore, their comparison with racial persecution during the Holocaust does not stand up, not even for the deputies Blah, “said the chairman of ÚZŽNO.

Crystal night

The name Crystal Night refers to the anti-Jewish pogrom, which took place on the night of November 9-10, 1938 in Germany, Austria and parts of Czechoslovakia. More than 90 Jews lost their lives, hundreds were injured, tens of thousands arrested and deported to concentration camps.
