Josefstadt’s Greens are against naming a Viennese park after a Jewish author murdered by the Nazis. This earns them the accusation of anti-Semitism. In fact, the Holocaust victim controversy is reaching bizarre proportions.
Cancel culture hysteria has gripped Vienna’s eighth district and is showing the strangest consequences. The focus is on a Viennese woman who died during the Second World War. The Greens think there may be black spots on the writer’s vest. They actually know almost nothing about them.
Briefly about the background: Hamerlingpark is getting a new name because the writer Robert Hamerling (1830 to 1889) made anti-Semitic comments. According to the original idea, the area would be called “Alma-Johanna-Koenig-Park”. Born in Prague in 1887, Koenig was a poet and storyteller who spent most of her life in Josefstadt and was murdered by the Nazis in a concentration camp in 1942. She was Jewish.
