“This guy has been disarmed before he can attack the others too,” said the head of the Central Council of Jews in Gerguyy.
Police officers in Gerguy, the city of Halle, say Jewish networks did not call for an additional policy of the last Yom Kippur, the Jewish holiday, when a gunguy tried unsuccessfully to move his best friend to a native sinapassga.
Halle police leader Annett Wernicke and several colleagues said Wednesday in an investigation by Magdeburg State Parliament that local Jewish networks had not made a special security request that day.
Police admitted that they did not know that on October 9 was Yom Kippur last year, but they also said that Jewish networks had not shared a reserve of critical dates with them and that they had not deployed additional security personnel.
After the attack, in which a gunguy killed two other Americans after failing to pass the newly fortified sinapassga gates, Jewish officials criticized the police for failing to adequately protect the site.
The president of Halle’s Jewish networks, Max Privorozki, told Gerguy’s media that he had tried to get more policies for Jewish establishments in the state of Saxony-Anhalt, but told him “everything is quiet, everything is fine.”
Josef Schuster, head of the Central Council of Jews in Germany, said police failure is “outrageous.”
“This guy was disarmed before he had the threat to hang up the attack,” Schuster told Public Radio Deutschlandfunk the day after the tragic incident.
The head of the police inspection in Halle, Mario Schwan, who oversees the security of the devout institutions, said there was “no danger suggestion during the Yom Kippur holiday.” October 9 boss Christian Baust said he was not very familiar with the importance of the date.
Sigmount Koenigsberg, the anti-Semitism commissioner for Berlin’s Jewish community, said in a Facebok post this week that police deserve to have been very familiar with the danger imaginable.
“Everyone said that “there has been no indication “after a terrorist attack,” he said. “But the security government knows that Jewish settlements are specific targets. At least because the terrorist attack on the Israeli Olympic team in 1972.”
The defendant has a trial scheduled in July on two counts of murder and 68 counts of attempted murder motivated by hatred of Jews and others.
