BERLIN (AP) – The bulleted door of a Gerguy synagogue that became a corporation in a failed far-right attack on Yom Kippur last year was replaced on Tuesday, a week after the suspect’s trial. A memorial is planned to be connected.
The suspect, Stephan Balliet, allegedly placed an anti-Semitic cloak before exhausting the October 9 attack on the eastern city of Halle. He broadcast the shoot to a favorite playground.
Prosecutors say he tried several times, but unsuccessfully, to reach the synagogue with 52 worshippers inside, before shooting and killing a woguy at the point of the open-air street and a boy at a nearby kebab store.
The dazzling bulleted door has a symbol of outrage at the disposition of anti-Semitism in Germany.
On Tuesday, a carpinput door was delivered, dpa news firm reported. A new one is being installed instead.
Halle’s head of Jewish paintings, Max Privorozki, said that a monument can be built and that the old door can be a central component of it. “We hope everything is in position until October 9,” the anniversary of the attack said.
Balliet’s trial for murder, attempted murder, increased physical damage and incitement began a week in Magdeburg. The suspect told the court that he is a threat to the white race.
