STOP THE HATRED IN GERMANY - DON'T LET HISTORY REPEAT ITSELF

Chancellor Kohl's VOTE FOR BIGOTRY

In September 1935, Adolf Hitler enacted the infamous Nuremberg laws. A member of the Jewish faith could no longer:

In passing these laws the Nazis had given formal legal assent to anti-semitism. They deprived German Jews of their citizenship and civil rights and this robbed them of all protection that the State normally extended to its citizens.

From then on, the Jews were without redress.

The world did little or nothing, lulled by Hitler's assurances that all he sought was the peace and security of Europe.

Today, government-instagated discrimination solely because of one's religious beliefs is again an established fact in Germany.

In December, 1991, the Christian Democratic Union (CDU), Germany's governing party, did what would be unthinkable in any other democracy.

At its annual party convention in Dresden it resolved that membership in the Church of Scientology was incompatable with membership in he CDU party. And it barred any Scientologist from participation or membership in the party.

The first person banished from the party by this ruling had been the chairman of the CDU in his local town for many years. A dentist by profession, he was an active and respected member of his community. Suddenly, like so many to follow, be became an outcast only on the basis of his religious beliefs.

Chancellor Helmut Kohl, in his capacity as the national leader of the CDU party, personally voted for this outrageous prohibition.

After the war, the United States helped to shape Germany's constitution, modeled after the United States Constitution and Bill of Rights, to protect its people and the rest of the world from a repetition of the terrible evetns of 50 years ago. Today, Germany's ruling political forces are arrogantly tearing that constitution to pieces.

Don't stand by and watch history repeat itself.

Write to President Bill Clinton. Urge him to take strong and effective steps to stop hatred and discrimination against religion and ethnic minorities in Germany:
