Swiss Posters
Cause Strir

Some 200
Geneva (JTA)
posters rejecting fascism and
anti-Semitism were recently
put up by a group of young
people in the eastern Swiss
town of Brunnen — and
quickly torn down.
The posters display a man
throwing a swastika into a
garbage can and slogans
such as "Keep Your Sur-
roundings Clean." The 20-
year-old woman who cre-
ated the posters told the
Zurich Jewish weekly



Fiorello La Guardia, the
legendary Italian-American
mayor of New York City,
was born to a Jewish mother
and a lapsed Catholic father.
He was raised Episcopalian
and became a Freemason.

Israeleitische Wochenblatt

that the second series of
posters would be affixed
with stronger glue.
The artist said she had
been watching with trepida-
tion the growth of neo-Nazi
groups whose members dress
like skinheads in leather
vests and boots.
"I decided it was enough
for now and that something
had to be done, rather than
wait until things got as bad
as in Germany," she said.
The artist, together with a
group of 20 friends, printed
and put up the posters at
night. "I gladly spent part of
my salary on this," she said.
She also wanted to awake
her region, which is the
German- speaking part of
Switzerland, to what is go-
ing on and prevent a recur-
rence of what happened 50
years ago.
The Israeleitische
Wochenblatt writes that a
few members of the anti-
fascist group have received
threatening letters.
However, they have not
been deterred. They say they
are delighted with the
positive reaction they have
received from the media and
much of the population,
which exceeded their expec-
tations.
In Brunnen on Aug. 1, a
Tamil from Sri Lanka was
beaten up and about 40 neo-
Nazis demonstrated, bearing
emblems proclaiming, "I am
proud to be Swiss."
Local citizens wrote letters
to their newspaper condemn-
ing the neo-Nazis.
Commenting on this, the
creator of the anti-fascist
posters said, "We shall not
give up. Our next step will
be to talk with the racists
about their ideas." ❑
