The author wrote that Hape Kerkeling's grandfather was a communist and a Catholic, politically persecuted, and ended up in Buchenwald. The National Socialists had defamed him as a cattle thief. The author referred to the AfD as "new Nazis" and accused them of defaming Kerkeling in the same tradition. He also wrote that with the death of truth, people would later also die. https://t.co/3chl9DX1aR https://t.co/mdTaqulZ6q #Geschichte #Politik #Buchenwald #DE (translated)

The author of the article accused Hape Kerkeling of portraying his grandfather in a speech in the Thuringian state parliament as a victim of National Socialism and of dramatically equating his imprisonment in Buchenwald with that of persecuted Jews. According to the author, Kerkeling concealed the reasons for his grandfather's imprisonment, Hermann Anton Kerkeling. According to the article, Hermann Anton Kerkeling was sentenced to eight years in a correctional facility in October 1933 for 17 counts of livestock and property theft during the economic crisis. Shortly thereafter, an additional year was added for preparation for high treason, among other things in connection with the communist pamphlet Rote Welle. He served his sentence in Münster, Papenburg, and Bremen. After that, the Gestapo ordered protective custody in Münster in May 1942. On July 2, 1942, Kerkeling was brought to Buchenwald as a political prisoner with the number 6117. He worked in the effects chamber and remained in Nazi custody until the liberation of the camp on April 11, 1945 – a total of about twelve years. He died in Recklinghausen in 1993 at the age of 91. The author described him as an active communist and gang thief, not as a typical victim of National Socialism. #Geschichte #Nationalsozialismus #Erinnerung (translated)

The author wrote that the AfD representative Julian Adrat had filed a criminal complaint for incitement to hatred against Hape Kerkeling. According to the author, Kerkeling claimed in the Thuringian state parliament that under the AfD, concentration camps like Buchenwald could be possible again. Furthermore, the author asked whether his readers supported the complaint. #AfD #Volksverhetzung #Thüringen #DE (translated)

Björn Höcke wrote on the Day of German Unity on October 3rd that unity means not only a common state but also the equal belonging of all citizens, regardless of their political stance. The pension debate conveys to people with a GDR biography that their life’s achievements count for less, and during the Corona measures, the state split society even down to families, he explained. He also criticized that vaccination status has been made a measure of social belonging. Höcke accused unspecified individuals of leveling accusations against millions of people for linking their voting decisions to the crimes of Buchenwald. He dismissed such comparisons as politically motivated slurs, including one made by an older man. Cohesion requires respecting the decisions of others, even if one disagrees with them, he wrote. At the same time, Höcke pointed to business closures, families' worries about the future of their children, and a trust damaged by political failure. War rhetoric intensifies these fears, he claimed. The AfD extends a hand to all who do not want to come to terms with this; the recent election results show that more and more people want to take their fate into their own hands, he wrote. Germany will also overcome the walls that are currently being erected between citizens, Höcke added. #Einheit #Zusammenhalt #Deutschland (translated)

"Everything is possible," the AfD slogan for the election in Saxony-Anhalt, could also mean Buchenwald - we didn't make this up, Hape Kerkeling actually said this in the Thuringian state parliament. What exactly qualifies him to be the key witness for an AfD ban procedure will likely remain a secret forever. Shoemaker, better stick to your lasts. #AfD #Wahlen #Politik (translated)

Kerkeling also insinuates with this statement that AfD voters knowingly choose National Socialism and thus "facilities" like Buchenwald! At the same time, he relativizes National Socialism! What I think about this, I am not allowed to write here. He has earned my deepest contempt with this! #AfD #Nationalsozialismus #Meinung (translated)

💥TOTALLY CRAZY WHAT WAS GOING ON!💥 I will not forget this birthday! Next to Chan-Jun's performance, Hape Kerkeling's was the most bizarre one at the AfD ban hearing. "Everything is possible" is supposed to mean "Buchenwald is possible again"? A realization from the ongoing hearing in the Thüringen state parliament: Anyone who wants to exit the Eurozone jeopardizes the existence of the Federal Republic and acts unconstitutionally? A completely crazy shit-show by the Left supported by SPD, Greens, and their NGOs. 🦅#TEAMHEIMAT🇩🇪 #Kerkeling #Thüringen #Buchenwald #AfD #Left - Please share - https://t.co/PLUwNATQBI #Thüringen #AfD #Linke (translated)

At the invitation of the Left Party, Hape Kerkeling spoke in the Thuringian State Parliament in favor of a ban procedure against the AfD. He accused the party of making "Buchenwald possible" as well. The Buchenwald concentration camp near Weimar was one of the largest concentration camps of the National Socialists. https://t.co/0iUM8JcbKN #AfD #Buchenwald #Thüringen (translated)

We summarize: 1. The ruling parties hire a comedian who claims to be "no expert," but equates a democratically elected party with Buchenwald. 2. HURZ! https://t.co/4Pf5BvjScv #Politik #Humor #Demokratie (translated)

INSANITY! Hape Kerkeling connects the AfD in Saxony-Anhalt and thus Ulrich Siegmund with Buchenwald. He claims that if a party uses the slogan "Everything is possible," then Buchenwald would also be possible. Anyone who associates political opponents with "Buchenwald" crosses a line, raising the question of whether alleged political criticism has not long since become a tasteless defamation. Simply unbelievable! #Politik #Diskurs #Meinungsfreiheit (translated)

This "man" urgently needs psychological help. I am scared when such people are part of our society and can walk around freely! "Does the AfD want to reopen Buchenwald"? Did he say that? Did I understand that correctly? Is getting shot in the ass stupid in the head? https://t.co/lbUp5PhliV #PsychischeGesundheit #Gesellschaft #Verantwortung (translated)

Josef Čapek, zatčen 9. září 1939, zahájil svou hrůznou pouť nacistickými koncentračními tábory v Dachau. 😔 Již 26. září 1939 byl přemístěn do Buchenwaldu, kde strávil těžké dva a půl roku. 🕯️ Následovalo další stěhování, 26. června 1942 byl transportován do Sachsenhausenu. Poslední a osudová kapitola jeho věznění začala 25. února 1945, kdy byl převezen do Bergen-Belsenu. 🕯️ V důsledku tyfové epidemie, která v táboře propukla, zde Josef Čapek zemřel krátce předtím, než byl tábor osvobozen spojeneckými vojsky. Zajímavost: Josef Čapek byl podle svědectví svého bratra Karla skutečným tvůrcem slova „robot“, které se následně rozšířilo do mnoha jazyků a stalo se jedním z nejčastěji používaných pojmů v moderní technologii. Karel Čapek tento termín převzal a poprvé ho použil ve své divadelní hře R.U.R., kde označoval uměle vytvořenou lidskou bytost. #historie #holocaust #JosefCapek
