Social media users are sharing footage on TikTok they claim shows a group of farmers in the US state of Texas staging a protest on the southern border with Mexico in January 2024. This is false; the video was taken at a demonstration in Germany.
In the Austrian Alps, post-Holocaust escape is re-enacted
Director, author and actor of the theatre group Teatro Caprile, Andreas Kosek (C) and other actors reenact an emigration scene on the old Roman road in the Krimmler Tauern Alps on the border between Austria and Italy, near Krimml, on June 25, 2021. Sidestepping a roaring waterfall and stumbling over rocks, an Austrian amateur theatre group re-enacts the treacherous Alpine escape of thousands of Jews seeking a new home after the Holocaust. Surrounded by Austria s snow-capped peaks, two dozen spectators hike alongside layman actors who perform scenes based on the real experiences of as many as 8,000 Holocaust survivors who traversed the Alps to reach the Italian harbor of Genoa, where they hoped to board ships to Palestine in 1947.
