Echoes of the 30s as rabbi warns German Jews not to wear identifiable religious symbols after spate of neo-Nazi attacks

Jews living near the German capital Berlin are being warned not to wear items of clothing that identify their religion as fears of neo-Nazi attacks rise.
Sixty five years after the end of World War Two and the Holocaust, a leading rabbi in the state of Brandenburg is urging Jews not to wear yarmulkes (skullcaps), traditional long coats, hats or other 'identifying symbols'.
Brandenburg, the state which surrounds Berlin, is a hotbed of neo-Nazi activity and its new chief rabbi Shaul Nekrich said its streets are no longer safe for Jews.
Warning: A leading rabbi has warned Jewish people in the state of Brandenburg, Germany, not to wear clothes that identify their religion. The rise in neo-Nazi attacks is a stark reminder of Nazi Germany (pictured top, in 1933, showing a police car loaded with arrested Jews in Berlin)
'I think the state has a problem with anti-Semitism,' he said. 'Even if I haven't been here for very long... I hear the stories from the communities.
'They are wary of being recognised as Jews on the streets.'

Formerly from Russia, Rabbi Nekrich said he had been accosted on a train in Brandenburg by drunks three years ago.
'I'm not saying that they were neo-Nazis,' he told a Berlin newspaper. 'But they had very short hair.
'I had started to read a prayer book when one of the men approached me, asked if it was written in Hebrew and then threw it on the ground.

Defiled: Gravestones were sprayed with swastikas at the Jewish cemetery in Schwaebisch Hall, southern Germany, in October 2000
'I got out at the next station and took at taxi the rest of the way home.
'As a Jew it is dangerous to wear things that identify you as such unless you are well versed in martial arts.'
The rabbi said he had not reported the incident because 'it makes no sense'.
In the six areas where he is responsible for teaching there are some 1,300 Jews.
After reunification Brandenburg became the fulcrum of neo-Nazi activity in Germany.
Skinheads invaded campsites, chased black people to their deaths, firebombed refugee asylums and marched in menacing groups flying the imperial battle flags of the Kaiser.
Towns like Bernau or Schwedt gained a reputation as 'brown towns' - after the brown shirts that the original Nazis wore during their rise to power - and tourist guides declared whole sections of the state 'no-go areas' for foreigners.
'Dangerous': Bernau in the state of Brandenburg. The town had developed a reputation for neo-Nazi support after the reunification of Germany
Brandenburg has led initiatives aimed at reducing the support for neo-Nazis in the state.
Antje Grabley, a spokesman for the state's Culture Ministry, said: 'The state government is doing everything it can to ensure that Jewish life again belongs to everyday life in Brandenburg.'
Ms Grabley said that a 2009 study showed anti-Semitic tendencies in the state were the lowest in Germany.
The State Office of Criminal Investigation said the total number of crimes motivated by anti-Semitism had also dropped in 2009 and 2010.
One of the most shocking crimes in the state occurred in 1999 when a baying mob of neo-Nazis chased 28-year-old Algerian asylum seeker Farid Guendoul through the streets of Guben.
They ended up pushing him through a plate glass window and gave Nazi salutes as he bled to death in 15 minutes.

This is most unfortunate. Hopefully its just an isolated incident. The modern day Germans are on the whole a decent people and are very aware of the threat Islam poses. They are ripe for leading an awakened Europe to forma bulwark against Islam.
The only reason I can think that they would target Jews is because they view them as a soft touch. I remember a few years back some Indian Hindus (also generally perceived as a soft touch) traders were badly beaten at a market in Germany by neo-Nazis.
What I cannot comprehend is how some Europeans are so quick to attack their fellow white Jewish people as well as Indians and Chinese, yet they do nothing about aggression from muslims and blacks? Can someone explain this mindset????

But germany has the JDL germany. Steve piggang will protect them!

'As a Jew it is dangerous to wear things that identify you as such unless you are well versed in martial arts.'
That won't help if the attackers have guns or come in a group.
This is just plain sickness. I don't understand how anyone can think attacking someone else because they're different is ok.
Why can't they just let the Jewish people go about their daily lives in peace? Is that really too much to ask?
If they're going to attack someone why not Muslims who at least pose a threat to the society?

He who doesn't understand history is doomed to repeat it! I say gei tren zich to the Germans! Jews better start carrying weapons and defend themselves! The time for turning the other cheek is over!

Bull their they're being P.C. most of the crimes are caused by qurananimals including attacks on Jews

I bet Stephanie Gangraped and her girlfriend Ben have perpetrated some of these attacks.

Jews don't like Ben because he is a Nazi; Nazis don't like Ben because he is a Jew. What a conundrum.

Neo-Nazis Reportedly Take Over East German Village
Published January 05, 2011 | FoxNews.com
Officials say neo-Nazis have taken over a village in east Germany, according to the Daily Telegraph.
Residents of Jamel say their village has become a pilgrimage site for the extremists and the local mayor claims that authorities have given up trying to impose order on the town.
"The police, the authorities, no one dares to intervene. The Nazis are laughing in our faces. We've given up on Jamel," Mayor Uwe Wandel told the Daily Telegraph.
The paper reports that swastikas adorn houses across the village and a plaque at the entrance of town says, "Village of Jamel -- free, social, national."
"They see Jamel as a nationally liberated zone," resident Horst Lohmeyer told the paper.
The country's neo-Nazi National Democratic Party has been voted into power in recent years, sending eight representatives to the state parliament.

Sounds like 'Jamel' needs to have its water and power shut off, and possibly bombed.

Why Jews are still in Germany is beyond my understanding. :o

Any Jew who lives in Germany after they murdered over 6 million Jews is a self-hating traitor. The Germans have not changed and will not change. They were defeated in the war and so they had no choice but to reject Nazism. But their bloodthirsty hatred for the Jews and their desire to destroy the Jewish people has not changed. Now the Germans seek a holocaust against the Jews by supporting the Arab Muslim Nazis.
