Верховный суд ГерманииОтклонил жалобу еврея на антисемитский рельеф на старой лютеранской церкви на территории бывшей ГДР. Germany’s highest court has rejected a Jewish man’s attempt to have a 700-year-old antisemitic statue removed from a church where Martin Luther once preached. The federal court of justice upheld rulings by lower courts on the Judensau, sculpture on the town church in Wittenberg – one of more than 20 such relics from the Middle Ages that still adorn churches across Germany and elsewhere in Europe – pointing to the addition in recent decades of a memorial and an information sign. Placed on the church about 4 metre (13 ft) above ground level, the sculpture depicts people identifiable as Jews suckling the teats of a sow while a rabbi lifts the animal’s tail. In 1570, after the Protestant Reformation, an inscription referring to an anti-Jewish tract by Luther was added. © Copyright: Зус Вайман, 2022.
