because this is without doubt was likely to reignite this debate over whether the bell should be continued to be in use or not but the church of the parish said today that it s now considering how to proceed and whether or not to take legal action but of course this debate is going to continue over whether these relics an artifact should still exists. in the debate isn t unique it s a bells of course on the one hand there s the argument that this concerns at least that they are two facts would attract a neo nazis but on the other hand you ve got the argument that they shouldn t remain be removed as they act as a. reminder everyday of the atrocities caused by the nazis during the third i should at the same time by removing them you d also be removing a very poignant and important. of history from this village yeah i mean the arguments are pretty clear what is also unclear is how no one saw the swastika
for so many years and the bill was singing in a church tower the church is still used and yet no one saw it we re talking about for decades right it is all links back to this kind of mindset of an ongoing process it s still happening now in dealing with germany s past and there are over time new pot new pieces of. nazi memorabilia and the question will be hearing about more similar kinds of builds certainly just over the past year has been five found across germany some of them now taken out of use some of them about to be replaced like this one here the parish did in fact decide to continue using it after the parish voted fascinating story all right kate brady as always doing double time tonight on the day thank you kate.
destinations for the deported migrants were taken by surprise those said they had not been consulted although the german interior ministry said always respected its humanitarian obligations. well it is a strange place to find a swastika in a church but that is exactly what happened to the people in a small german tell last september now the locals were outraged when a decision was taken not to replace the bell after the swastika was failed well over easter somebody obviously took matters into their own hands a strip around the middle of the bell has been treated to remove a. swastika and the perpetrators left a note saying that it was time for spring cleaning to bring fresh air to the village here s an excerpt. we ve been doing
struck us is how did the nazi bill get inside the church to begin with do we know well of these bells of been discovered quite recently that was quite out of control they say several were found at once last year and a lot of them were set in various churches in the early one nine hundred thirty s. when the nazis first came to power and that s where you find a lot of nazi radix and kind of memorabilia searches from the fed keeps popping up in various places for hat sometimes. less expensive places than others but they all date around just same time it s a prize you do when you see that but i guess it speaks to the fact that the the relations between the church and the parties were indeed rather tight despite what may be we heard what has been the reaction to this so-called spring cleaning
could have cost of it the home meeting and. this is a village with bright decent intelligent cosmopolitan people who want to just sit idly by and see how the community is split down the middle. in this hype and as christians for freedom we have freed this bell from the signs of a time that was full of guilt and to be us we did that because of our responsibility before god in the face of dismay and to strengthen our village community. yeah and so the bell is ringing with the swastika now and the talk about this story which has gotten a lot of attention around the world is my colleague brady so the question that struck us is how did that nazi bill get inside the church to begin with do we know a lot of these bells of being discovered quite recently that was quite out of control they say several were found at once last year and a lot of them were set in various churches in the early one nine hundred thirty s.
