'Go to Auschwitz': Former German Jewish student president sent antisemitic death threats
The letter, which was shared with Post, begins with a note that reads "Oh Hanna, you are a very sweet Judensau, let's go to Auschwitz and have a party for a happy holocaust."
The former president of the Jewish Student Union of Germany (JSUD), Hanna Veiler, received a four-page antisemitic letter and graphic death threat, she told The Jerusalem Post over the weekend.
The letter, which was shared with the Post, begins with a note that reads, “Oh Hanna, you are a very sweet Judensau, let’s go to Auschwitz and have a party for a happy holocaust.” It then adds, “Oh Hanna, I want to f*** you for three nights long.”
The term “Judensau” denotes a provocatively repulsive image involving Jews and a female pig.
This is then followed by a handwritten “Heil Hitler!” Nazi salute, and a joke that reads, “Why did Jews like going to Auschwitz so much? Because the trip was free.”
The letter consisted of four pages of a mostly incoherent diatribe about “propaganda” schemes by “cunning Jew,” with multiple other antisemitic dog whistles such as “charming swindlers.”
“That’s how our Jews are, as they’ve always been: Deceitful, greedy, and in every sense antisocial, like vile parasites,” the letter read.
Veiler blamed Germany’s Right
There are also pictures of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Adolf Hitler.Veiler wrote on Instagram that the letter had been sent to the student organization’s Berlin office. She told Jewish News that she stopped reading the letter as soon as she understood its content, and instead turned it over to the police.
She also told Jewish News that she received another similar letter a year before, containing threats about sending her to the gas chambers.
“Every time this happens, I question whether I should make it public or not,” Veiler wrote on Instagram. “I don‘t want anyone to believe that I am weak or scared or anything more than a victim of antisemitic hatred. But this has been my reality of life for over two years.”
“Everyone, Jewish or not, who dares to speak out for the Jewish people publicly is facing this,” she added.
Veiler blamed Germany’s Right, especially the Alternative for Germany party, for the rise in the country’s antisemitism.
She also criticized “everyone who believes that right-wing antisemitism was not a thing in Germany, and that the threat is only emanating from the Left or migrant communities.”
