Jewish students prevent Austrian far-right speaker laying Kristallnacht wreath
VIENNA - Jewish students in Vienna on Friday prevented the first far-right speaker of Austria's lower house of parliament from laying a wreath in remembrance of the Nazis' 1938 Kristallnacht pogrom, arguing he was abusing the memory of its victims.
Those who opposed him in parliament and the leader of the body formally representing Austria's Jews said he was not a suitable candidate because of his continued membership of a far-right fraternity and his past praise for a Nazi prosecutor, which Rosenkranz has since said was a mistake. In a tense standoff, a protester told Rosenkranz: "We do not want you to spit in our ancestors' faces", to which Rosenkranz replied: "You are insulting me" as his police escort looked on.
Since the Jewish Religious Community , the body that formally represents Austria's Jews has long refused to hold meetings with FPO officials, Rosenkranz did not attend a separate Kristallnacht ceremony around the same time at another Holocaust memorial.
