Controversial ‚Shoah, Nakba‘ event at German institute in Tel Aviv cancelled – The Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial said Friday that after talks were held with the Goethe Institut, the German cultural institute had decided to altogether cancel a controversial planned event that was accused of drawing an equivalence between the Holocaust to the Palestinian Naqba. Earlier in the week, the Goethe-Institut Israel postponed an event, “Grasping the Pain of the Others – Panel Discussion on the Holocaust, Nakba and German Remembrance Culture,” which had been set to take place in Tel Aviv on Wednesday evening — the 84th anniversary of Kristallnacht. The institute apologized only for the timing of the event and postponed it until Sunday. However, it now appears to be off completely. | Timesofisrael
