³¼RACISM IN GERMANY¼³
¹
You have for sure heard about the la-
test violent attacks against persons
seeking for asylum in Germany. And now
there are loads of people from other
countries, watching those things on the
TV. It's quite understandable, that
they might think, that Germany is once
again beginning to develop a 'Deutsches
Reich' with a leader as Hitler was in
the Third Reich. Some even thought of
that after the uniting of Germany. They
thought, the reason for that would be
getting a bigger and more powerful Ger-
many. That's absolutely not true! But
there are some things to explain and we
hope to be able to convince you of the
fact, that something like a Third Reich
CANT ever happen again here in Germany.
It all started with uniting of the
eastern and western part of Germany a
couple of years ago. Everyone was hap-
py. Thousands of relatives from both
parts saw each other for the first time
after 40 years. The people from East
Germany were looking forward to a bet-
ter future. They were always talking
about the 'golden west'. They always
wished to live there. Now it was pos-
sible for each of them. But after a
short time they were disappointed. All
those people, which moved to West Ger-
many didn't get a job, because their
education was too low to get a one
there. They had mostly craftsman's
education, which they could have used
in the GDR, but in the united Germany
it was useless. Many moved back to
where they came from. But there, the
situation wasn't better then! Many
firms and factories had to close down,
coz the sudden change into market eco-
nomy was too hard for them. So an enor-
mous unemployment was spread in the
east.
The reasons were searched. It was pro-
bably the incompetence of several poli-
ticians. All in all the unity wasn't
well planned at all. Everything went
much too fast. Others believed in other
reasons. And that's the point where ra-
cism started. Many of these unemployed
people had the opinion, that the
foreigners who are living there are the
real reason for that misery. "They are
stealing us all the employment!!", they
said and back in 1991 the first actions
against foreigners started in a village
called 'Hoyerswerda'. Skin heads burned
their houses, smashed the windows and
so on. Many other citizens clapped and
they considered the skins as 'heroes'
or something like that. The police was
absolutely not able to stop those ac-
tions. Some weeks ago again a huge wave
of racism has started in the eastern
part of Germany. This time the foreig-
ners in citys like Rostock, Erfurt or
Eisenhuettenstadt were the victims.
But all these attacks against the
foreigners are senseless!! That's what
most of the attacking guys don't want
to understand. They should think about
the places, where the foreign workers
are employed! They are mainly cleaning
ladies, garbage collectors or restau-
rant owners. Well, I don't think, that
they want to have such jobs like
foreign workers anyway. So what's the
reason for those attacks?! The foreig-
ners aren't the reason for that misery.
The politicians failed in organizing
the unity in the right way - THAT'S the
reason!
So all you readers, we hope you have
noticed, that there's nothing like a
Third Reich developing in Germany. It's
just some disappointed guys in the
eastern parts of Germany, which are
searching the reason for their unemploy
ment in some helpless foreign workers,
those who haven't anything to do with
that kind of misery. It has nothing to
do with any political organization. In
opposite! Of course! From time to time
there are attacks against foreigners in
the west part of Germany as well - qui-
te sad in fact! But unfortunately
that's just normal and there are such
things in France, in Belgium, in Scan-
dinavia and anywhere else in Europe!
The people living in Germany don't EVER
want something like the Third Reich
once again. They won't be taken in by
someone to be compared with Hitler
again.
