Out of the blue, Chambon-sur-Lignon received a windfall of two million euros. A fortune for the community with its 2,500 inhabitants. An Austrian Jew bequeathed his legacy to the village,
which he had hidden as a child during World War II. Erich Schwam died without descendants at the end of December at the age of 90 in Lyon. Between 1,500 and 4,000 people, Jews and non-Jews, 30 percent of them children,
found refuge in this remote and forested region of 500 square kilometers called the "plateau". An area in which the tradition of hospitality was strongly anchored. The entire area of ​​the plateau received an extremely rare diploma from Israel in 1990,
awarded by the Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial Center, which it shares with another village in the Netherlands. Erich Schwam's inheritance of millions, which makes up two thirds of the community's annual budget, is used for the youth of the village.
Exactly as the Austrian Jewish child from Chambon-sur-Lignon wanted.

#Germany #Nazi #History #Law #Antisemitism

The Bundestag has erased linguistic relics of the Nazi regime from the German right to change names. Parliament unanimously changed the text of the law from 1938, which, despite numerous changes,
still spoke of the German Reich and the Reich Minister of the Interior. Union parliamentary group vice-chairman Thorsten Frei said that the decision had no practical, but a high symbolic effect.
In its original form, the law required Jewish Germans to use the additional first name Sara or Israel. The new regulation that has now been adopted goes back to an initiative of the Federal Government's Anti-Semitism Commissioner, Felix Klein.
