Recently, a couple of allegedly serious criminals from large Berlin families known to the police were talking to comedian Idil Baydar in the radio-like app Clubhouse.
Someone said about dealing with clan criminals: "That reminds me a lot of what is it called again, World War II history, here, where they rode on the Jews."
Baydar agreed: “It's the same story!” When people publicly complained about the equating of Neukölln gangsters with murdered Jews, Baydar threatened the lawyer and wrote of “character assassination”.
Later, when tape recordings emerged, she admitted the allegations and apologized half-heartedly: "If the impression has arisen ..."
The inflated attitude of the victim and the belittling of the Holocaust are part of everyday life in certain milieus.
Why write about it?

Because it is remarkable which figures are applauded on social media - and who gives them legitimacy.
Some of those involved here are being tried before the regional court.
It is about coercion, severe blackmail, dangerous physical harm, infidelity, insult.
Measure and middle have slipped in society.
Idil Baydar, who joined them on friendly terms, is often a guest on public television, also moderates the “New German Media Makers”, a lobby association funded with millions of euros in taxes, which allegedly fights against stereotypes, but whose chairman is Germans without a migration background "Potatoes" called.
Baydar was once racially insulted and threatened even by strangers - rightly and luckily she received broad solidarity from among society.
Now that she is playing down the Holocaust and taking on alleged criminals, the criticism remains rather quiet.
When a crazy, hitherto unknown young woman compared herself on a "lateral thinker" demo with resistance activist Sophie Scholl, even the German Foreign Minister criticized the young person harshly.

Many did not find that appropriate to his person, because who is "Jana from Kassel".
But because it was also about the memory of Sophie Scholl, I thought Maas' words were correct.
In the Baydar case, like so many others, he remains silent.
Obviously, it always depends on who

with the tone.
It will be interesting to see when Baydar's next appearance on ARD will follow.
