Honoring Dr. Hajo Meyer
This past Friday August 22, 2014, Dr. Hayo Meyer,
proud member of IJAN and long time anti-Zionist activist passed away.
Hajo was unwavering in his conviction and passion that Never Again meant
Never Again for Anyone and in his outrage that his experience in
Auschwitz is misused by Israel and Zionism to justify the colonization
and ethnic cleansing of Palestine.
Dr. Meyer was born in 1924 in
Bielefeld, Germany. When he was barred from attending school there after
November 1938, he fled to the Netherlands, alone. In I944, after a year
in the underground, he was caught and subsequently survived 10 months
at Auschwitz. Dr. Meyer dedicated himself to countering the Zionist
manipulation of the Nazi genocide to justify the colonization of
Palestine. He played a leading role on the Never Again for Anyone tour
of Europe in 2010, and of the United States in 2011.
We will miss Hajo. His message
will continue and grow stronger as he is joined by survivors of the Nazi
genocide, the descendants of its victims and survivors and all people
committed to justice. Our hearts go out to those who loved him.
The morning of his death, the following letter from survivors of the Nazi genocide and the descendants of survivors and victims, in response Elie Wiesel's attempt to justify the attacks on Gaza, was published as in the NY Times. Hajo was the first to sign on.
