By Left To Burn
Few political problems became as acute during the Gaza War as European Holocaust remembrance. Particularly in Germany, where commemorating the Shoah became instrumentalised in anti-Palestinian and Islamophobic policymaking and leftist Jews were arrested and charged with Antisemitism for protesting the conflict. Nowhere in Europe has this approach to the Nazi genocide become more normalised than under the German-led von der Leyen Commission, and its Bavarian-born Coordinator on Combating Antisemitism and Fostering Jewish life, Katharina von Schnurbein.
