2020-11-24T16:57:26.469Z


A 22-year-old "lateral thinker" draws a daring comparison at a corona demo. Not only Twitter users find this excessive, but also Heiko Maas (SPD).


A 22-year-old "lateral thinker" draws a daring comparison at a corona demo.

Not only Twitter users find this excessive, but also Heiko Maas (SPD).

  • A scandal occurred on Saturday in Hanover

    at a

    lateral thinker demo

    .

  • A

    22-year-old speaker

    compared herself to

    Sophie Scholl

    in her Corona resistance fight

    .

  • Now

    Twitter is

    discussing the video - and even

    Federal Foreign Minister Heiko Maas

    speaks out.

Hanover - "Hello, I'm Jana from Kassel - and I feel like

Sophie Scholl

", this is how a supporter of the

lateral thinking group

begins

her address on Saturday at a

corona demonstration

in Hanover.

And the supposed reason for her statement follows immediately: She has been active in the

resistance for

months, giving

speeches, going to

demos

, distributing

flyers

- and registering for events.

"I am 22 years old, just like

Sophie Scholl

when she

fell victim

to the

National Socialists

," says Jana.

For her shaky words, however, she only earned muted applause from those present.

Because it is a steep thesis that the 22-year-old dares - as an

opponent of the coronavirus measures,

she compares herself

with a world-famous

resistance fighter

.

Sophie Scholl

died after standing up for her political convictions.

Because of her active resistance in the group

Die Weisse Rose, she

and her brother

Hans Scholl were

sentenced to death by the National Socialists in 1943 - and executed on the same day.

Corona: "Lateral thinker" compares herself with Sophie Scholl - Heiko Maas is outraged

The only thing that Jana from Kassel and

Sophie Scholl

may have in common is their age - the

Twitter community

has now also

agreed on that.

(But even this statement is not correct,

strictly speaking

,

Scholl

died

at the age of only 21.) Otherwise, the “

lateral thinker”

and her address mainly meet harsh criticism.

The

video

showing her address on

Twitter

has since gone viral.

So it no longer goes unnoticed by politicians, as it is yet again evidence of an extremely daring comparison of a

lateral thinker

.

Not even 24 hours after the video was posted on

Twitter

,

Federal Foreign Minister Heiko Maas (SPD)

now

speaks up on the social network: “Anyone who

compares

himself to

Sophie Scholl

or

Anne Frank

today is

mocking the courage it took to take a stance against them Show Nazis.

That belittles the

Holocaust

and shows an unbearable forgetfulness of history. ”“ Nothing connects

Corona protests

with resistance fighters, ”

Maas

continues, adding an unmistakable“ Nothing! ”- including exclamation marks - behind it, probably to express his deep dismay at the incident bring.

Anyone who compares himself to Sophie Scholl o Anne Frank today is mocking the courage it took to take a stand against Nazis.



This plays down the Holocaust and shows an unbearable oblivion of history.



Nothing connects corona protests with resistance fighters.



Nothing!

- Heiko Maas 🇪🇺 (@HeikoMaas) November 22, 2020

And the

Twitter users

agree with

Maas

.

“Only that we don't live in a

freedom-robbing regime

.

Everyone can express their opinion here.

These

corona deniers

feel restricted because they

are supposed to wear

a

mask

.

This has nothing to do with restricting freedom.

But with egoism and arrogance, "comments one user, while another agrees:" What an incredibly stupid statement.

Nobody in the people wants these resistance fighters.

Germany

is the freest country in the world.

You are not fighting against "those up there", but against all of us. "

Scandal at the lateral thinker demo: Folder becomes an Internet star

"I can and will never give up working for

freedom, peace, love

and

justice

," explains Jana from Kassel in the now much-discussed

video

when a curious incident occurs.

Apparently, one of the

stewards

at the

demonstration

tore

the thread of patience given her speech.

He goes to the front of the stage and hands the speaker his orange

safety vest

- his tone is initially so calm that neither the

lateral thinker

nor the audience can understand him.

When the 22-year-old repeatedly perplexed "What?" Questioned and someone in the audience shouts "Let her speak! Simply" the turning

security man

and says in disbelief, he could no longer listen to this further.

I don't make a folder

for such

nonsense

.

This is playing down the

Holocaust *,

”he explains clearly, but completely calmly.

The man repeats his view several times, until some other

security guards

and the

police take him

out of view of the camera.

Jana turns around, rings her tears and ends her speech.

The speaker in #Hannover feels like Sophie Scholl because she has been "active in the resistance for months".

Folder throws in the towel: "I don’t make a folder for such nonsense. That’s downplaying the Holocaust."

Speaker cries and throws down too.

The

protesters

on site showed outraged.

The host of the event in

Hanover

said it was “terrible what is happening in this country.

I am shocked ”.

But the man who - in protest on his part -

wanted to

hand the

lateral thinker

his

vest

is now the

secret star on the Internet

, as many celebrate him for his courageous intervention.

"Respect for the

ex-folder

who recognized the mockery of the real

Holocaust victims

and opposed it," comments one user.
