From Hedy Epstein, Palestinian-solidarity activist and Holocaust survivor, who leaves the midwest for Germany tomorrow to do several speaking engagements:
A Palestine Solidarity Group in Freiburg, Germany, applied and received permission from the city gov’t to show a Nakba Exhibit in the city public library, beginning on Nov. 12, 2010. Just nine days before the opening of the exhibit, the permission was withdrawn. Reason: The one sidedness of the exhibit
Additionally it was stated that I will speak at the opening of the exhibit as a patron of the exhibit…that I am a member of a terrorist organization, Free Gaza.
I was born in Freiburg and have been a special guest of the city last year as well as a couple of years ago. The exhibit organizers are scrambling to find another site.
Here’s a link to coverage in Germany.
