@triammerer Meinten Sie: Samstagmorgen? Weil morgen ist ja schon Sonntag :D

@triammerer Nicht exakt, nein :D

@triammerer Kalt duschen, dann freust dich aufs Verlassen der Dusche ;)

@jokabrink @FRA Na gut liebe*r Nachbar*in, dann lassen wir's. Eigentlich wollte ich ja eh mit der FRA diskutieren. ;)

@jokabrink @FRA One instance from the 80s, as mentioned: https://www.nytimes.com/1988/11/25/opinion/l-kristallnacht-was-the-name-the-nazis-gave-it-681188.html If that it is not large enough for you, I understand. However, I am not going to write a paper here. Still, maybe you would like to consider morally for yourself why it could be wrong to use the term coined by the perpetrators of the crime.

@jokabrink @FRA The discussion on terminology is not irrelevant, and it is indeed happening amongst historians and scholars from related fields (just checked with a contemporary history scholar I know personally). This is the case not only in-, but also outside of Germany and Austria. Just because you cannot find the discussion, this does not mean that it is not there. But FRA should know about it. They are THE fundamental and human rights organization of the EU.

@jokabrink @FRA
No. No. Absolutely no. The naming is not (!) internationally accepted - at least in a scientific sense - since the 80s, and Wikipedia or news agencies are not authoritative sources. An EU institution dealing with and researching fundamental rights issues must be aware of that.

@linos Agree. Werde das mal bei der Pressestelle anregen.

@jokabrink @FRA Precision in such matters is always crucial, but even more important if one conducts a large-scale study on Anti-Semitism, I suppose.

@jokabrink @FRA Reformulating my posting: The term "Kristallnacht", as it was jokingly/cynically used by Germans, is the wrong word to remember the pogroms of November 1938 by. Nothing "cristally" about the events. Call it November pogroms.
