Special app for Jewish life in Berlin - publication postponed for fear of anti -Semitic reactions.
A few weeks ago, the Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf district developed an app in Berlin to bring the history of Jewish life in the region again. The idea was to publish the app on November 9, a historical date. However, the publication was postponed due to the current political situation and the fear of anti -Semitic reactionsThe district mayor Kirstin Bauch (Greens) said that she did not want to take any risk and that people could be endangered on a walk. However, according to the belly, the Jewish community has not expressed any specific request to postpone the start of the app.
Another reason for the shift is advertising for the project. The district mayor emphasized that the goal was to adequately advertise the app, which was not adequately possible in the current situation. Therefore, the app is expected to be published in spring, together with a large marketing campaign.
The app leads the users to known places such as the Schaubühne, the KaDeWe and the Yva-Bogen during a walk. Icons of the past also tell their stories like Erich Mendelsen, Marlene Dietrich, Albert Einstein and Helmut Newton. The app should be a tribute to the importance of Jewish life in Berlin and make the past culture of remembrance experienced again.
according to a report by www.bz-berlin.de , the district of Charlottenburg-Wilmersdorf in Berlin is released in the history of Jewish life in the region should revive. District Mayor Kirstin Bauch (Greens) stated that the app is not published for fear of anti -Semitic reactions. This was decided despite the lack of concrete requests from the Jewish community. In addition to the concerns about possible negative reactions, the publication was also postponed due to the difficulties in advertising for the project. The app should be published together with a marketing campaign in spring.
