Swiss theatre director told to withdraw book alleging Austrian politician mocked Holocaust victims | Books
The Swiss Theater Director, known to revive the turning point hearings, was told by a judge in Vienna that a publisher, an extremely right Austrian politician should withdraw a book that he claimed to have sang a song that mocked Holocaust’s victims.
On Thursday, Vienna’s Regional Court, Heinz-Christian Strache (FPÖ), the former leader of Milo Rau’s Freedom Party (FPÖ), was a book that he once published a book in which he claimed to manage a song to the Yatis Million. Jews ”. regime.
RAU made global headlines this summer by staging the word gisèle’s word The Pelicot attempt admitted that the expression was a “real mistake .. However, he claimed that the slander against the publisher had complies with a wider nationalist party by using legal ways to scare critical voices in art.
“What we see is the far -right parties that use the arsenal provided by democracy to destroy it,” Guardian said to Guardian.
Strache, who served as the Vice President of Austria between 2017-2019, but resigned as Ibiza Affair Corruption Scandal, explained his intention to maintain more insult against RAU because he repeated the claim in an interview with the Austrian game article Elfridee Jeline.
Meanwhile, Rau said his experience plans to make his experience a theme of a new theater production at Hamburg’s Thalia Theater in February.
The slander passage was part of a speech in Berlin in March, and spoke about his agitis for “awakening activities”, such as FPÖ’s Eurovision and Rau, which has been the artistic director since 2023.
The speech was reprinted in a collection of Rau’s resistance Havs, the resistance was published in May and withdrawn from sale last week before the trial.
FPO, a man named HC Strache, a member of the biggest Austrian party, is from a period in which the morning and afternoon sang the song ‘Seventh Million Manage’.
The song of the song is that a FPÖ politician is a member of a brotherhood or Burschenschaft The song book illuminated Holocaust and glorified Wehrmacht.
One of these drinking songs included the line in the gas, you will run the seventh million of the old Germanic peoples ”. The song dating back to the 19th century was sung by liberal brotherhoods to make fun of the SS in the 1930s, but after the war, the line with the Holocaust was adapted by the Neo-Nazi groups.
Rau said that although the special claim against Strache was wrong, FPÖ, founded by former members of the Nazi party, was currently acting as the protectors of Jewish interests.
Strache, the leader of the FPÖ, made a few visits to Israel and caused a scandal in 2010 when he visited Yad Vashem, not a Kippa, but a traditional cover of a student brotherhood.
“Strache’s visit to Yad Vashem was wearing the head of a German nationalist brotherhood, and was more brazen than anything claimed in my book.
Although German student brotherhoods vary from extreme right national socialists to liberal societies, the Austrian brotherhood is historically on a narrower nationalist spectrum, and more vocal about their commitment to the idea of “larger Germany” based on ethnicity.
