Milan Councilor Files Complaint Over Antisemitic Auschwitz and Anne Frank Insults

Backed by Azione leader Carlo Calenda, Nahum’s legal action aims to hold hate-speakers accountable after online abuse that belittled Holocaust victims.

Overview

  • An anonymous user targeted Daniele Nahum with a social media post claiming “at least in Auschwitz you had a place to work, eat and sleep.”
  • The same messages contrasted alleged Israeli actions in Gaza with what was described as the Holocaust “charade,” declaring “the era of playing the victim is over.”
  • One post invoked Anne Frank with the phrase “siamo quelli che hanno preso Anna Frank,” further distorting Holocaust memory.
  • Nahum, a Milan city councilor and member of the Jewish community, filed a formal criminal complaint with support from lawyer and fellow councilor Alessandro Giungi.
  • Azione secretary Carlo Calenda condemned the insults as an intolerable affront to human dignity and Holocaust history as authorities investigate the case.
