Pro-Palestinians plan protest at Nazi concentration camp during liberation anniversary

The Buchenwald concentration camp memorial in eastern Germany has long faced vandalism and disruptions, largely attributed to far-right extremists. Now, according to a report in the Swiss newspaper Neue Zürcher Zeitung, pro-Palestinian activists from Germany’s radical left are planning a demonstration at the site during commemorations marking its liberation.

The new planned protest is expected to take place during the second week of April, when Germany marks the anniversary of the camp’s liberation. According to the report, organizers intend to hold demonstrations and lectures at the memorial under the slogan “Keffiyehs in Buchenwald.”

Participants are expected to include the German Communist Party, the student wing of the Left Party and “Jewish Voice,” a group of anti-Zionist Jews.

Organizers accuse the memorial’s management of failing to take a stronger stance against Israel and allege discrimination against pro-Palestinian activists. The dispute follows an incident in April last year in which a visitor was barred from entering the memorial while wearing a keffiyeh in protest of Israel’s policies in Gaza. A court later upheld the ban.

It later emerged that the visitor was affiliated with a communist organization that had praised the Oct. 7 Hamas attack, stating it could “only admire the completely legitimate uprising.”
