  • Berlin, Den 17.12.2002 Jürgen-Fuchs-Straße in Erfurt Am
    Berlin, den 17.12.2002 Jürgen-Fuchs-Straße in Erfurt Am 20. Dezember 02, anläßlich des 52. Geburtstags des Dichters, wird die Straße am Landtag in Erfurt in Jürgen-Fuchs-Straße benannt. Die Stadt Erfurt und der Landtag des Landes Thüringen ehren mit der Benennung einen Poeten, der mit seinen intensiven, leisen Gedichten die Nöte einer DDR-Jugend ausdrückte, die sich in den Zwängen des totalen Anspruches der SED auf die Menschen selbst zu behaupten versuchte. Seine akribische Beobachtung wertete die Realität ohne den erhobenen Zeigefinger des Moralisten. Die real existierenden Sozialisten sperrten ihn dafür ins Gefängnis und schoben ihn vor 25 Jahren in den Westen ab. Der so in eine neue Welt Geworfene konnte nun in seinem Beruf als Psychologe arbeiten und baute gemeinsam mit seiner Frau den "Treffpunkt Waldstraße" im Berliner Problembezirk Moabit auf, einen Heimatort für Jugendliche und Kinder aus schwierigen sozialen Verhältnissen.Jürgen Fuchs' literarisches Werk blieb nicht bei der Beschreibung des sozialistischen Totalitarismus stehen, sondern lotete die Möglichkeiten des Menschseins darin aus. In seiner Geradlinigkeit und seinem unbestechlichen Urteil achtete Fuchs darauf, daß die Aufarbeitung des SED-Unrechts nicht abstrakt blieb, sondern den Menschen in ihrer konkreten Situation gerecht wurde. Dafür ist ihm das Bürgerbüro e.V., zu dessen Gründern er gehörte, dankbar und verpflichtet. Der Weg in den Thüringer Landtag führt zukünftig über eine Straße der Sensibilität für die Nöte der Mitmenschen und des Engagements für die Menschenrechte. Dr. Ehrhart Neubert, amt. Vorsitzender Ralf Hirsch, Vorstand Presseerklärung vom 22.10.2002 JÖRN MOTHES: Kein Abstand zur Diktatur Ringstorff und Holter haben in ihrer Koalitionsvereinbarung die Auflösung der Behörde des Landesbeauftragten des Landes Mecklenburg-Vorpommern für die Unterlagen des Staatssicherheitsdienstes der ehemaligen DDR beschlossen.

    Freya Klier (Sender Freies Berlin, Berlin, Juli 2001 September 2001) „ DIE DRITTEN DEUTSCHEN“ 1. Momentaufnahme einer Fluchtwelle Im „Askanischen Gymnasium“ Berlin-Tempelhof richtet der amtierende Direktor zwei sogenannte „Ost-Klassen“ ein. Wir schreiben das Jahr 1957 - noch trennt die Deutschen keine Mauer. Doch gibt es in der DDR bereits eine große Zahl Jugendlicher, denen aus politischen Gründen das Abitur verwehrt wird: Schon verhaltene Kritik an der SED und ihrem Jugendverband FDJ oder ein Engagement in der Kirche reichen, um von höherer Bildung ausgeschlossen zu sein. Etliche Jugendliche aus Ostberlin und Umgebung nutzen also vor dem Mauerbau die Chance, in Westberlin das Abitur abzulegen - einige schleichen in täglicher Nervenbelastung über die Zonengrenze, andere sind vor Ort untergebracht, bei der Heilsarmee oder im Kloster zum Guten Hirten, und kehren nur am Wochenende heim zu ihren Familien. Der Direktor, auf der Suche nach einem Ausweg aus dem Dilemma ostdeutscher Bildungsverbote, ist selbst ein Zonenflüchtling und kennt sich in der Materie aus. Das Lehrerkollegium des „Askanischen Gymnasiums“ aber beweist Mut mit seinen Ostklassen, denn das SED-Regime rächt sich, die Lehrer werden bei Kollegiumsfahrten von DDR-Grenzern stets besonders schikaniert. Für die Schüler aus dem Osten aber eröffnet sich sesamgleich die Welt der Demokratie - sie werden in den Diskurs über Europa involviert, die jüdische Geschichte, die Deutschlandfrage... Die meisten der 280 Ost-Schüler, die im Lauf von fünf Jahren in Westberlin das Abitur ablegen, werden früher oder später für immer im westlichen Teil Deutschlands landen. Sie sind Teil einer riesigen Fluchtwelle, die vor 1989 stets in die gleiche Richtung rollt - von Ost nach West.

Only through a re-integration of humanity into the whole of nature can our people be made stronger. That is the fundamental point of the biological tasks of our age. Humankind alone is no longer the focus of thought, but rather life as a whole . This striving toward connectedness with the totality of life, with nature itself, a nature into which we are born, this is the deepest meaning and the true essence of National Socialist thought:' 1 In our zeal to condemn the status quo, radicals often carelessly toss about epithets like "fascist" and "ecofascist;' thus contributing to a sort of conceptual inflation that in no way furthers effective social critique. In such a situation, 13 ECOFASCISM REVISITED it is easy to overlook the fact that there are still virulent strains of fascism in our political culture which, however marginal, demand our attention.
