Abstract:
Written for a radio broadcast. A shorter version appeared in "Die Zeit" (15 May 1992). Condemns the Hamburg Senate's decision to permit building on the site of the old Jewish cemetery. Argues that the fact that the cemetery was sold by the Jewish successor community in 1951 is no justification, considering the conditions at that time: the community consisted of refugees, most of them in transit and with no ties in Hamburg, living in great poverty and subject to constant antisemitic attacks. Accuses the Senate of extreme insensitivity in its response to Jewish protests.
