Berlin - Director Deidre
Berger (above) of the American Jewish Committee (AJC)
in Berlin recommended collecting and reporting data on antisemitism
and hate language at schools, given Europe's bloody
history, especially the 'Holocaust', in which virtually the whole
European continent was complicit, according to
Berger. The AJC is one of the world's most active Jewish
institutions.
Berger filed a complaint Friday against Amazon-Germany
for selling books questioning the 'Holocaust',
trivializing the Nazis, promoting 'hate crimes' or labeled as being inappropriate for those under 18.
AJC member Benjamin Schoeler (below), reached by telephone, said the goal of the
complaint is to get Amazon.de to evaluate the books they sell, and pull ones that promote Holocaust denial or anti-Semitism.
Amazon Germany denied it sold any such books and
replied: "We think that the best response to questionable literature is not removing them but more
discussion". Questioning the 'Holocaust' is a crime in Germany, punishable by up to five years in prison.
