Karoline Preisler wrote that she had been awarded the Arno Hamburger Prize for Civil Courage by the Jewish Cultural Community of Nuremberg (IKGN). She expressed that she was overwhelmed and grateful and emphasized the beauty of the medal. Arno Hamburger was far more than a British soldier, a witness to the Nuremberg Trials, and head of the IKGN; he took action. She sees the prize named after him as an honor and a commitment, Preisler wrote. #Zivilcourage #Ehrung #Dankbarkeit (translated)

Manuel Ostermann wrote that he had received death threats and had been confronted with defamatory articles, insinuations, and personal attacks. This does not leave him unaffected, he explained; public figures also have feelings and a personal environment. Ostermann warned that intimidation must not become a political or social means, as threats could otherwise impair freedom of expression and thus freedom itself. Messages and conversations from supporters, according to him, encouraged him to continue. He wrote that he would continue to advocate for his beliefs and not compromise his values. #Freiheit #Zivilcourage #Meinungsfreiheit (translated)

Lars Winkelsdorf wrote that he had spoken a few months ago at a personal meeting with August Hanning about Hanning's financial situation. Hanning had brought up the topic himself. The current media coverage does not adequately represent the situation from Winkelsdorf's perspective, as it appears as an exposure of the motives behind Hanning's alleged actions. According to him, Hanning explained that he had entered the supervisory board of the Latvian PNB Bank through Anders Rasmussen. An oligarch then plundered the bank, stripping it of about 30 million euros. In a civil proceeding under Latvian law, Hanning was held liable; the judgment was later enforced in Germany, and a significant portion of his pension was garnished. Winkelsdorf described Hanning as an indirectly harmed party of criminal acts and wrote that his attempts to get out of the situation had failed. It was not about losses from risky investments but rather that Hanning had been "taken advantage of," he wrote. Rasmussen has not had to pay anything so far; Winkelsdorf added that Denmark may have better laws than Germany. https://t.co/KJQ6fW9Au0 #Finanzen #Medien #Justiz (translated)
