German kindergarten ditches plan to scrap Anne Frank’s name

BERLIN, GERMANY - NOVEMBER 03: This screenshot shows the still active Facebook page of Samidoun Deutschland, the German chapter of the international Palestinian-rights activists group Samidoun, including the slogan: "Free Palestine From The River To The Sea", which negates Israel's right to exist, on November 03, 2023 in Berlin, Germany. The day before the German government announced it is banning Samidoun and all its activities due to the group's public celebration of the deadly October 7 incursions by Hamas fighters into Israel. The government is also banning any activities that might support Hamas, which enables law enforcement to clamp down on any related fundraising activities. (Photo by Sean Gallup/Getty Images)

Riot police officers bring a pro-Palestinian demonstrator into a police van at Herrmannplatz, Berlin on October 11, 2023, as pro-Palestinian gatherings took place in the German capital despite a police ban, five days after Palestinian militants launched a surprise attack on Israel, which has responded with a massive bombardment of Gaza. Israel is reeling from the deadliest attack in its 75-year history, as more than 1,500 militants stormed through the Gaza security barrier in their coordinated land, air and sea attack on the Jewish Sabbath. Israel has been relentlessly pounding Hamas targets in Gaza in response, and the war has already claimed the lives of more than 3,700 lives of Israeli and Palestinian civilians, soldiers and combatants.

St.Gallen's Raiffeisen Square to be renamed A committee has called for the name of Raiffeisen Square to be changed to "Recha-Sternbuch-Platz". The founder of the Raiffeisen movement had been anti-Semitic. A striking feature is the "city lounge" with its surface of red rubber granulate, designed by the artist Pipilotti Rist and the architect Carlos Martinez. Friedrich Wilhelm Raiffeisen had been celebrated by Nazis on the 50th anniversary of his death. Not only bank buildings stand on the "Red Square", but also the St. Gallen Synagogue. The signatories of the letter include former St. Gallen Councillor of States Paul Rechsteiner, historians Hans Fässler and Stefan Keller, and Pipilotti Rist. It is now time to rename the square, they said in St. Gallen on Thursday, 25 May 2023.
