In view of police investigations into suspected hate speech in Berlin, the controversial British rock musician Roger Waters has changed parts of his show in Frankfurt. Because he knows the history of the Frankfurt Festhalle, he refrains from disguising himself “as a demagogue” in the second part of his show, Waters said last night.
He feels the suffering that happened to the people in the hall in 1938. He knows that many people accuse him of being an anti-Semite. “I’m not,” said Waters to the cheers of many viewers. The musician also burst into tears for a short time.
Waters has recently been repeatedly accused of anti-Semitism. There had been a lot of criticism of the British musician’s concerts throughout Germany. In Frankfurt, around 500 people protested against the appearance of the Pink Floyd co-founder on Sunday.
In the course of the pogrom night, more than 3,000 Jewish men were rounded up and mistreated in the Frankfurt Festhalle, only to be deported afterwards.
