This saturday i went for a walk to the pintoresque town of Coyoacán in Mexico City...
Then i see this weird pale guy standing on a box that said " EL DEPORTADO / NEVER AGAIN HOLOCAUST", a street actor, offering to write one´s name in hebrew.
The disturbing thing was that he was dressed up like a 3. Reich "Deportation- Jew", with a yellow "Judenstern" on his coat, deportation baggage, a jewish chandelier and this very pale and depressing make- up on his face.
One could take pics from / with him for a few pesos, so i gave some coins so i could take some pics with the exclusive goal to share them here.. ... .... ah, and got my name written in hebrew.. Maybe he´s a real Jew after all..
I dont know what to think about what i saw, i am not jewish, quite open minded, but that image impressed me for several reasons.
i am not sure if what this guy does is correct or not. Is he making concience with this re-enactment, or is he making easy money over the ashes of 6 million dead ?? It made me think a lot.. Maybe that was the idea after all...
What is your impression on that guy?
