I have copied her story, from her wall on Facebook and used Goggle-Translate.
I have not done nothing with the text, so there are som bad words BUT they are necessary so you can se how the real life in Copenhagen is, if you are a Jew or Jewish
"I walk towards the intersection from the North Gate of the Botanical Garden. Four young Arab boys go and mess around. They call each other jew and jew pig - they play to each other and it is obviously important to be alpha male and not a jew pig. No one around them says something, even if they speak highly enough - we come to the intersection, it is red. They keep going, and I can no longer be silent. Turn around and say
"I am a jew and there's nothing wrong with me, like there's nothing wrong with others who come from elsewhere"
All at the junction can hear me, they are badly embarrassed. It seems there really is something wrong with me.
Then a woman turns around , She's pear danish and their teacher, I understand they are on a school trip. She speaks muttering to them to quiet down. My heart sinks into the gravel, where was she when it happened? She could have made a difference, but by her silence, she made it legitimate to use language derogatory about people and culture
The limit has been exceeded long ago and it is now the norm and everybody knows it, it's not a secret. Certainly not in school, she've heard it a thousand times before.
A small and for most an insignificant episode, as most will sweep off the table as pranks. But I know what it depends on, and I feel its impact. There is sadness in my heart and I let no one see my tears."
Her story is just one of thousand from around the world. You that now the history from the middle of the 30's germany, where almost ordinary german spit on the jews. I feel it's like the history from that era, is coming back to life.
Please let that not be the case.
