The Amadeu Antonio Foundation (AAS) is a recognized non-profit German foundation under civil law based in Heidelberg . It was donated in 1998 by Karl Konrad von der Groeben on the initiative of Anetta Kahane and named after Amadeu Antonio Kiowa , one of the first victims of right-wing extremist violence in Germany since reunification in 1990. According to its own statement, the foundation wants civil society in Germany against anti-Semitism (also in Form of anti-Zionism ), racism and right-wing extremism . To this end, it supports over 1000 local initiatives and projects in youth culture , schools, victim protection, refugee initiatives or democracy projects financially, through education, public relations and municipal networks. It also supports outreach to dropouts from the neo-Nazi scene .

Management, employees, partners

The founder was Karl Konrad von der Groeben. The patron is Wolfgang Thierse , the former President of the German Bundestag . The initiator Anetta Kahane is also the CEO. The Board of Trustees consists of six people (as of July 2016): Andreas Zick (Chairman), Andrea Böhm , Stephan J. Kramer , Uta Leichsenring, Petra Lidschreiber and Christian Petry . The council is responsible for the management, monitors compliance with the founder's will, decides on matters of fundamental importance and advises the board of directors. The foundation is administered by the Foundation and Research Group Model Projects GmbH (SFGM). Ria Gräfin von der Groeben represents the circle of friends and supporters of the foundation. The foundation currently employs 30 full-time employees, some of them part-time (as of 2018).

The foundation has hundreds of partners in Germany, including many small projects and local initiatives. There is a strategic partnership with the Freudenberg Foundation and Stern magazine . The foundation supports the Transparent Civil Society Initiative . At the European and international level, she works with the WINGS network (Worldwide Initiatives for Grantmaker Support).

earnings and expenses

The Amadeu Antonio Foundation will live through the federal program Democracy! Funded by the Federal Ministry for Family, Seniors, Women and Youth . She generates further income through donations, which Stern magazine, for example, encourages its readers to make. Of around 1.65 million euros in income for the foundation in 2014, around 721,000 euros came from donations, around 870,000 euros from government grants and around 66,000 euros from other income. In the same year around 1.54 million euros were spent on the foundation's purpose, including around 963,000 euros for fees and project costs as well as project funding, the rest for personnel costs. From 2007 to 2016 there were also grants from the administration of justice in various federal states.

According to its own statements, the foundation had supported over 1000 local initiatives and projects in democratic youth culture, schools, communal networks, for victim protection and victim support and for those who left the Nazi scene financially, in terms of ideas and through public relations by 2016. The foundation sees it as its most important task not only to promote the initiatives and projects, but also to encourage them to strengthen their own initiative on site and to network them. The projects are funded from donations and the income from the foundation's capital. In 2009, around 600,000 of the 900,000 euros of the annual budget were used for operational projects that are financed through programs of the federal government and other foundations. The foundation works operationally and nationally with its own projects in children's and human rights education, in the development and training of projects against current anti-Semitism, in cooperation with anti-racist projects against everyday racism and in the promotion and networking of community foundations that are committed to democratic culture.

Projects against anti-Semitism

Since 2003 the foundation has been developing and testing concepts against current forms of anti-Semitism , which it presents on a website . Since then, it has organized nationwide campaign weeks against anti-Semitism every year around the anniversary of the November pogroms in 1938 with many civil society initiatives . In 2008 she organized the exhibitions Anti-Semitism in the GDR and That Wasn't Given in Germany in over 250 locations.

Since January 2015, the foundation has been a sponsor and cooperation partner of the anti-Semitism research and information center in Berlin. In February 2015, the foundation and anti-Semitism researchers founded the Network for Researching and Combating Anti-Semitism (NEBA).

The ju: an project (practice center for youth work critical of anti-Semitism and racism) provides educators and specialists in open youth work with advice, coaching and advanced training for the pedagogical treatment of anti-Semitism and racism. It combines the topics of anti-Semitism and group-related misanthropy among young people in various forms.

Foundation employee Jan Riebe investigated a seminar on the situation of young people in Palestine at the Hildesheim University of Applied Sciences and Arts in July 2016 . He criticized the teaching material as one-sidedly anti-Israeli and partly anti-Semitic. As a result of this and other criticism, the seminar was suspended until November 2016, the dean of the department resigned and the term of office of the previous university president was no longer extended.

Projects against right-wing extremism

Courage against right-wing violence

On the occasion of increased attacks against immigrants, the magazine Stern started the campaign Mut gegen Right-Wing Violence in 2000 , initially with a series of rock against right-wing concerts. The star called for donations to the Amadeu Antonio Foundation. This enabled them and the criminologist Bernd Wagner's center for democratic culture to found the nationwide drop-out project Exit-Germany in autumn 2000 . In April 2003, the cooperation between the foundation and the star resulted in the Internet portal mut-gegen-rechte-gewalt.de , which offers comprehensive information on right-wing extremism. The carriers received the alternative media award for the portal in 2007.

The foundation has been supporting the concerts of the “ Laut gegen Nazis ” campaign since 2005 and has published an audio book for them. After the series of murders by the right-wing extremist terror group National Socialist Underground (NSU) became known in 2011 , the foundation organized a “Rock Against Right” concert in Jena in December together with Udo Lindenberg , Peter Maffay and other musicians .

The Foundation also publishes nationwide statistics for the deaths of right-wing extremist violence in the Federal Republic of Germany on the website Mut gegen Right Wing Violence . The statistics are constantly checked and updated. It attributes more than twice as many fatalities to right-wing extremist perpetrators and motives than the federal government.

Gender

Gender and right-wing extremism are among the focus areas of the foundation. The department of the same name researches neo-Nazi and right-wing extremist gender images as well as educational ideals. Above all, the role of women within neo-Nazism as multipliers and door openers into society is increasingly being examined, since right-wing extremism has so far been perceived primarily as a male domain. At the same time, strategies are being developed for educators, social workers and educators to support them in their work with right-wing extremist children and their parents. The pedagogical advice also goes hand in hand with raising public awareness.

Regional projects

Campaign logo

The foundation project No Place for Neo-Nazis has existed since 2009. The aim is to raise awareness of the problems of right-wing extremist parties in state parliaments and district assemblies before state and local elections, to network local actors and to help local citizens' projects to educate people about right-wing extremist propaganda. Part of the campaign is also the mobilization against regional and nationwide neo-Nazi marches, concerts and events. In 2008 the foundation worked for the first time with the Brandenburg Action Alliance in the Barnim district, in 2009 in Thuringia, and in 2010/2011 in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania.

Lola for Lulu is a long-term project of the foundation in the Ludwigslust district (Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania). It is intended to sensitize women and girls living there to right-wing extremism and right-wing extremist role models, empower them to contradict them and activate them for a gender-equitable democratic culture. This includes workshops, advice and the promotion of local projects.

The model project Region in Action reacts to the electoral successes of right-wing extremist parties in rural areas, especially in Zossen (Brandenburg) and Western Pomerania. Ways to support and expand civil society are being sought and tested: for example, through communication processes that network local actors, attract more people to civil society and improve cooperation between administration and civil society.

From 2001 to 2006, the foundation implemented the five-year CIVITAS project , decided by the Berlin House of Representatives, with the Democratic Youth Foundation , which focused on right-wing extremism in the new federal states. In 2002, the foundation made it possible for the “Network for Democratic Culture” (NDK) in Wurzen (Saxony) to purchase a house with donations and grants, which was expanded into a local democracy center against right-wing extremist tendencies and opened in 2006. In the same year the foundation organized a tour with Afro-German musicians from the Brothers Keepers through places dominated by right-wing extremists in order to discuss everyday racism and right-wing violence in local school classes . In 2003, the Foundation supported the establishment of the Community Foundation Barnim Uckermark (Brandenburg) that determines wrote the commitment to democratic culture in its statutes.

Stephan J. Kramer (Board of Trustees) has headed the Office for the Protection of the Constitution of Thuringia since December 2015 . With his appointment, the state government of Thuringia under Bodo Ramelow (Die Linke) wanted to strengthen the democratic control of the protection of the constitution. The Humanist Union Berlin, the Naturefriends Youth and initiatives for victims members of the NSU criticized Kramer's office as cooperation between the AAS and the protection of the constitution. The AAS rejected the criticism: Kramer had been a member of the board of trustees long before and there was no institutional cooperation. In August 2016, the state government gave the AAS the responsibility for the newly established scientific institute for democracy and civil society - Thuringian documentation and research center against misanthropy under the direction of sociologist Matthias Quent . The award was controversial, but there was no obligation to tender and the information obligation was met. This was confirmed by the public prosecutor's office after examining a criminal complaint. The alternative for Germany (AfD) Thuringia fights the institute and compared it with the Reich Chamber of Culture . Individual CDU and SPD representatives feared that the institute should replace the protection of the constitution. The institute director and social scientist Matthias Quent, however, emphasized that one would work purely empirically, observe no one and, above all , investigate right-wing extremism and misanthropy in the majority society, but also Islamism , homophobia and sexism .

Internet

From 2006 to 2010, the foundation and the Federal Agency for Civic Education published websites on the subject of right-wing extremism.

Since 2009, the foundation has been running the Internet portal Netz gegen Nazis together with the weekly newspaper Die Zeit , which was renamed Belltower.News in April 2017 . The project was founded by the weekly newspaper publisher; the deputy editor-in-chief of the time , Moritz Müller-Wirth , is a member of the advisory board. The portal contains a knowledge database, information about activities by neo-Nazis on the Internet and advice on dealing with right-wing extremists. In October 2010, together with over 60 networks against increasing hate speech on the Internet , the foundation set up the social networks campaign against Nazis.de. This resulted in the educational project no-nazi.net in 2011 . It should draw young people's attention to right-wing extremist propaganda in social networks , collect ideas for countermeasures and develop effective counter-strategies. In 2012 the foundation founded the Internet portal Fussball-gegen-Nazis.de against neo-Nazism, racism, anti-Semitism, sexism and homophobia in football and in the ultra-movement .

Since the refugee crisis in Europe from 2015 onwards , hate speech and anti-refugee attacks have increased in the Federal Republic of Germany . The counter-speech is to be promoted with the support of the foundation at the working group of the Federal Ministry of Justice “Together against hate messages”, established in December 2015, and at the Facebook “Initiative for moral courage online”, established in January 2016 . The initiative supplements Facebook's voluntary commitment from September 2015 to check criminal and reported hate posts in Germany within 24 hours and, if necessary, to delete them. In June 2016 the foundation published the brochure “Hate speech against refugees in social media”, written by five employees. This explains various ways to recognize, report and display hate speech on the Internet, to protect yourself from it and to draw attention to it. The brochure was financially supported by the Federal Ministry of Justice and the Federal Ministry for Family, Seniors, Women and Youth .

Also in June 2016, the foundation warned that social media on the Internet had opened up completely new target groups for right-wing extremists. For example, local opponents of a refugee shelter were given access to conspiracy-theoretical world explanatory models via right-wing extremist “No-to-home” pages on Facebook, for example the thesis of the Reich Citizens' Movement from “BRD GmbH” or the thesis of a “migration weapon”, with the small elite “the German People "allegedly wanted to" exchange "them for immigrants. These right-wing extremist approaches carried the agitation against refugees, had given them enormous popularity and had also penetrated the party program of the right-wing populist AfD.

From October 2016 the No-Nazi.net project was further developed into the digital project Debate // De-Hate , which is more focused on social media.

Victim protection and victim support

The Cura Victim Fund emerged from Aktion Cura , which has been calling for donations for victims of right-wing extremist violence since the Mölln murder attack in 1993. In 2004 the foundation took over its sponsorship. The victim fund documents far more victims of right-wing violence than the federal government, among other things because it includes not only foreign victims, but also disabled, homeless and socially marginalized victims.

In 2015, the foundation established the Schutzschild campaign for refugees and asylum seekers, who are threatened by racist agitation, violence and disregard for many of their basic rights, especially in rural regions of eastern Germany. The campaign is intended to strengthen the self-organizations of immigrants and refugees and to make their everyday problems and perspectives better known, so that local authorities and welcome initiatives include them on an equal footing. In the long term, this should help integrate refugees into active civil society. Together with Pro Asyl , the foundation has been compiling an annual chronicle of incidents hostile to refugees in Germany since 2015.

Awards

In September 2015, the State Parliament of Baden-Württemberg and the Israelite Religious Community of Württemberg awarded the foundation the Joseph-Ben-Issachar-Süßkind-Oppenheimer Medal . In November 2015, the foundation received the Lothar Kreyssig Peace Prize for its commitment to migration, immigration and a successful welcoming culture. In December 2016, the Bul le Mérite of the Association of German Criminal Investigators .

Since 2007, the foundation has been awarding the Saxon Prize for Democracy together with the Dresdner Bank , the Frauenkirche Dresden Foundation and the Freudenberg Foundation . In December 2015, the foundation awarded the Amadeu Antonio Prize for the first time . The prizewinners were the Antelope Gang , the Human Rights Stage and the Center for Political Beauty . In 2017, the award went to the Cologne association Lückenlos for its art project "Dissolve the Tribunal NSU Complex" at crime scenes of the Nazi underground terrorist group .

Attacks and allegations against the foundation

In January 2016, the Federal Ministry of Justice invited the foundation to a working group that supported Facebook's initiative for moral courage online with advice. Since then, right-wing extremists and right-wing populists have increasingly attacked the foundation and some of its employees with defamation , hate speech , threats and calls for violence. Frequent points of attack are the foundation's founder Anetta Kahane's earlier work as an IM for the Stasi , her Jewish origins and a foundation brochure on combating hate postings against refugees from June 2016. According to Kahane, the attacks continued to increase as a result of this brochure.

The racist website Anonymous.Kollektiv called for a DoS attack on the foundation's website . The right-wing populist magazine Compact spread defamatory false claims. In social networks antisemitic were caricatures , intended to represent the Kahane, common. In April 2016, identities blocked the foundation's office in Berlin with barrier tape and defamed some employees by name as informers of a surveillance state . A picture of the foundation team was shown on the right Facebook pages and asked to find the home addresses of the employees in order to threaten them. The central accusation is the claim that the foundation exercises censorship on social networks on behalf of the Federal Minister of Justice . In contrast, the foundation emphasizes that it only provides advice and has no influence on deletions on the Internet. The foundation took legal action against defamation and agitation. The magazine Compact was a false assertion (Kahane had "hundred block wardens " hired to censor Facebook comments) enjoined.

Some conservative or right-wing populist journalists, columnists and bloggers took up the censorship claim, including Roland Tichy , Bettina Röhl , Philipp Lengsfeld , the authors of the blog Dieachse des Guten and the FAZ journalist Rainer Meyer as well as the newspaper Junge Freiheit , the Kopp Verlag and der Journalist Achim Winter . He had previously spread anti-Muslim comments on Twitter and alluded to Kahane's previous IM work on the program hallo Deutschland . In a protest letter from Foundation Councilor Andreas Zick, the latter requested the deletion of the contribution. The ZDF then distanced itself from Winter's opinion, but rejected the requested deletion of his contribution.

On August 16, 2016 Rainer Meyer (FAZ) accused the foundation on which public foundation base new rights-net will also CDU in the New Right sorted. The following day, the foundation made it clear that only the former membership of the new right-wing party such as Martin Hohmann had been named. All entries will be carefully checked to avoid any misunderstandings. Later the site was taken offline. Peter Tauber (CDU) asked the foundation not to mention the CDU on neue -rechte-net . Representatives of the Junge Union submitted applications to cancel all state grants to the foundation. On August 31, 2016, the Leipzig Bundestag member Thomas Feist (CDU) took up this demand in an open letter to Family Minister Manuela Schwesig and claimed without evidence that the foundation's websites were a “platform for left-wing radicals” where violence was called for. On the same day, AfD representative Beatrix von Storch also called for state funds to be cut from the foundation. The historian Hubertus Knabe publicly advised the Federal Ministry of Justice to end its cooperation with the foundation because of Kahane's previous Stasi activities. The CSU member of the Bundestag Alexander Hoffmann turned against this cooperation. At the CDU federal party conference in December 2016, the federal board of the Junge Union applied for the state funding to be canceled and demanded that the AAS be examined by the Office for the Protection of the Constitution because of public statements made by its representatives; the motion was not debated. However, the Federal Ministry of the Interior sees no reason to discontinue its funding because of the AAS's recognized charitable status.

The social scientist Samuel Salzborn described such advances in September 2016 in a scientific report commissioned by the AAS as an unplanned “right-wing campaign”: Many right-wing extremists and right-wing conservative actors had committed themselves against the AAS because of “specific common interests” because it was “successful against the others Spreading right-wing propaganda “work. He particularly criticized Rainer Meyer, who reproduced rumors from the right-wing scene and thus gave them credibility.

In terrorist investigations against Bundeswehr soldiers from 2017 onwards , a list of names was found with KSK officer Franco Albrecht, including Anetta Kahane, and a detailed description and sketch of the AAS Berlin office. It is presumed that the listed people and locations were intended as targets. Albrecht had noted down details of Kahane's curriculum vitae, made a sketch of the location of the foundation, penetrated the underground car park and photographed the vehicles of the foundation employees parked there. The Federal Court of Justice admitted an indictment by the Federal Public Prosecutor against him in November 2019 for preparing a serious act of violence that was dangerous to the state.

In December 2017, the parliamentary group of the right-wing populist Alternative for Germany (AfD) in the Berlin House of Representatives questioned the public funding of the AAS and brought it into connection with left-wing extremists.

The District Court of Regensburg prohibited the assertion of a consultant of the Foundation on 17 July 2018 the singer Xavier Naidoo was "structurally detectable" anti-Semite.

In September 2018, the foundation published a brochure, co-financed by the Federal Ministry of Family Affairs, on how state day-care centers deal with children whose parents have shown racist statements and behavior. The brochure used case studies to describe ways of counteracting this behavior with an anti-racist, democratic day-care center education. Right-wing populist blogs like that of David Berger , some media articles ( Junge Freiheit , BZ , Bild , Welt ) as well as AfD representatives such as Stephan Brandner and CDU representatives such as Nadine Schön and Falko Liecke , youth councilor in the Berlin district of Neukölln , claimed: The brochure guides educators to recognize right-wing extremist parents by certain characteristics of their children and to subject them to spying or "mind control". In contrast, the media analyst Stefan Niggemeier , the Federal Family Minister Franziska Giffey and the Foundation representative Simone Raffael made it clear at the end of November that the critics had generalized and misinterpreted a case study.

According to their own statements, the authors of the brochure, Judith Rahner and Enrico Glaser, then received numerous hateful messages and criminal threats. They stressed that educators reported on the case studies and asked for specific advice on them. The misinterpretations in the tabloid media are part of a campaign that has been going on for years: "The foundation is mainly about the lie and conspiracy tale that we would censor the Internet on behalf of the government, monitor people, denounce and check their attitudes." Your publications would be in this right framing inserted and partly deliberately scandalized.

The Berlin Administrative Court rejected an injunction in an urgent procedure by the AAS against the Neukölln district office and on April 11, 2019 allowed the latter to advise against the brochure.

Frankfurt book fair

In October 2017 the foundation was present at the Frankfurt Book Fair . The new right publisher Antaios was placed next to their stand . He used his stand for media-effective appearances by right-wing extremists , some of whom became violent. The foundation rejected a discussion with New Right and right-wing extremists called for by the publisher as a staging and attempt to question non-negotiable human rights , freedom of expression and freedom of religion . Foundation managing director Timo Reinfrank criticized the book fair management: They misunderstood modern forms of right-wing extremism and did not adequately prepare for the foreseeable situation. Their claim to be a place for civil debates was unrealistic. The fair should not be a place for racists and agitators. Dealing with these is the responsibility of the organizers and all exhibitors. In order to rule out violence, a structured concept and enforcement of house rules are required.

The foundation publishes leaflets, brochures, analyzes, monographs and edited volumes.
