Hamas Terror of October 7, 2023: 'Germany is Next'
This article from WELT's 80-year anniversary series recounts the Hamas terror attack on October 7, 2023, described as the largest mass murder of Jews since the Holocaust. It focuses on the story of Alon Gat, whose wife Yarden (a German citizen and descendant of Holocaust survivors) was taken hostage, and his sister Carmel. The article also covers the case of German-Israeli Shani Louk, whose body was paraded in Gaza. It highlights celebrations of the attack on Berlin's Sonnenallee and a memorial at Bebelplatz, where books from the ruins of Alon's house were placed in a display case, linking Nazi book burnings to the present-day atrocity.
