second guest of the series of talks with Peter Landesmann was Danielle Spera, known all over Austria as the spokesperson of the time in the image (ZIB), the main news of the ORF television. Her father, who was not prosecuted as a teenager in the Nazi era and is committed to including forced labor, sent Danielle in post-war Austria "to protect" in a Catholic school. Their Jewish identity so she has not given up, even though they break the habit of not more the exclamation "Oh God" could, but this also does not conflict with the Jewish prohibition pronounce the name of God, is because "God" was not even his name ;-)
In Speras budget - she is married to the psychoanalyst Martin Engelberg and has three children ( see Wiener Zeitung ) - plays the Jewish religion and tradition a large role. are Jewish holidays, except for the Sabbad, sometimes to work on the "must" basic compliance, she and her husband attend the weekly Shi'ur . Kosher is even eaten, but not in the strictest interpretation. A Passover kitchen they did not (have to Passover the whole house to be thoroughly cleaned, especially the kitchen so the food is really "kosher for Passover" is), but would they want to.
ORF anti-Semitic?
was much to discuss it on the reporting of the ORF, which is sometimes as anti-Semitic and / or anti-Israeli criticism. Spera knew this, several examples from the recent past, some even for large eddy in the editorial or internal ORF provided:
1) Reporting on the solidarity rally for Israel on the occasion of the Jewish space war in Gaza. The atmosphere - it was dark, raining, (I think) temporarily Indeed, the mood (at least those who were taught by the camera) was more excited to upset - the atmosphere is in any event aware of the Rapporteur on an interview in a cozy cafe atmosphere with a representative of the Muslim community have been played, where it calmly his criticism could spread to Israel, as do the Israelis wipe out the Palestinians. This then makes not only for protests within the ORF, but also by the Israeli ambassador and ultimately led to an apology, the ORF responsible. was
2) also mentioned that ZIB-report of 18 December 2008, which to me back then, during the war in Gaza, noticed negative (in case I then compared with the ARTE-Info-brief report accurately traced in my blog, here read) In any case, should this full selective representation have caused bursting report in retrospect quite a stir in the newsroom to the diplomatic level, he did not make it, however.
Generally, the Spera, the ORF, with Ben Blessed in Tel Aviv and Karim El-Gawhari in Cairo, however, excellent journalists, who provide a balanced coverage of both sides of the conflict. give
editorial Internal contact for Jewish or Israeli issues with it anyway Susanne Scholl , Joana Radzyner and once with Robert Hochner .
What - I think - ultimately remains is the impression of a split with regard to the Middle East reporting ORF - for how else should one dubious reports in the middle state in the main news, while little effort later excellent correspondent or presenter / interviewer is honesty ? should
profile Kreisky
criticism Spera also exercised its profile editor Christian Rainer, the Austrian President Heinz Fischer asked in an interview was whether "the balance sheet in the Gaza War" (over 1,000 dead on the Palestinian side and about a dozen the Israelis) would not "fail to reverse". Whether this was his personal assessment of it or merely a provocative question should have been, to the Federal President may not elicit a clumsy response can be seen. In both cases, but hardly a creditable performance of a news magazine publisher. The provocation against Israel - that virtually the whole world dance to his tune, keyword "Israel Lobby" - had already ensured a vast cover for attention and also found in international blogs resonance.
also Kreisky was again raised. This was by his vehement rejection of the Jewish - Inform about the collaboration with former National Socialists and the Freedom Party and the plot against Simon Wiesenthal - the "Kreisky-effect" provided that has legitimated a certain anti-Semitism even if a person with an intellectual level.
In the story, particularly that of National Socialism and the Shoah / Holocaust, or at least could not draw a line to be set, for it is indeed always denied, in terms both of the right side as sometimes also by the Church, as the causality is only from the Pius Brotherhood recently re-pointed. The fewer witnesses there are, the more important is remembering and explaining. Why her father is now writing his memoirs of his youth in Nazi Vienna, so the grandchildren can share in these memories of a day.
