After the "revolt of the respectable"
Youth groups from Brandenburg have met to take stock of the current
situation after ten years of racist violence and one year of "civil
courage".
The fates of Amadeu Antonio, Noël Martin, and Omar Ben Noui have given a
special ring to the names of towns such as Eberswalde, Mahlow and Guben,
both in Germany and beyond. Amadeo Antonio was beaten to death in a pub in
1990; Noël Martin is now a paraplegic as a result of two teenagers having
thrown a stone through the windshield of his car; Omar Ben Noui died in
1999 as a result of injuries he sustained jumping through a glass door in
the attempt to escape a group of young pursuers. Eberswalde, Mahlow, Guben:
hunting grounds in the German federal state of Brandenburg.
It can't be said to be unusual when a Vietnamese and Gambian man are
insulted and beaten up in a pedestrian zone in broad daylight. It is
however noteworthy, if not unusual, that the local press and local
politicians take no notice of incidents such as these in which nobody dies.
In Bernau, these incidents, which took place in the summer of 1998, are
normal. It is due to their normality, and not in spite of it, that they
inspired "Action Noteingang" (Emergency Entrance Campaign), a big campaign
in which young people from Bernau declared their opposition to a panorama
of raw violence and bourgeois normality. The atmosphere in the city was
supposed to be changed, and stores, pubs and cultural institutions were to
contribute to the effort with a simple statement: "We offer protection and
information in case of racist or fascist attack." The fact that the stores,
etc. did not display the yellow stickers with "Aktion Noteingang" of their
accord, but had to be convinced, and that the work of convincing them
wasn't easy, shows what the heart of the problem is: drunken skinheads are
giving more violent and extreme expression to what their parents, teachers,
and politicians also think is right.
