Such good news. I love the idea of *checks notes* specific demographics not being able to learn how the majority of my Polish family died in the '30s and '40s. Boy, I would hate for people to be informed!
Specifically the judgement was that you cannot engage in political protests at these concentration camps which the accused had explicitly said they were doing.

The court ruled it because some bonkers orthodox communist activists sued the memorial. Those activists repeatedly tried to use the memorial for their pro-Palestine activism and therefore got rejected.
The activist is part of the "Kommunistische/Organisation" which released a reader about alleged myths about the Hamas, that called October 7th "morally legitimate".
Seems crazy at first glance that an organisation calling itself communist would blindly support a bunch of religious extremists! But it begins to make sense when you recall how the Soviet Union funded and supported the PLO as a counter to the USA's support of Israel. I suppose that's what you mean by "orthodox communist" - old school, authoritarian (the contradiction in terms is lost on them) state communists, the sort whose parents were either merrily chaining themselves to the gates of US bases if they were in the West, or gleefully reporting all their neighbours to the Stasi if they were Ossis. Come to think of it, the Russians' propaganda expertise and long standing contacts inside anti-Israel groups is also probably a large part of the reason why their current social media disinformation campaigns have been so successful and have seemingly ensnared huge chunks of European youth, hook line and sinker.
Thanks, exactly this.

Regressive af imho.
So it's not about tolerance... Gotcha.
One question: do we have the right to speak German, there?

- This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
- No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
- Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
- No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism. We follow German law; don't question the statehood of Israel.
- Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
- If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
- Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in other communities.
- Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
- No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
- Always provide context with posts: Don't post uncontextualized images or videos, and don't start discussions without giving some context first.

Ban lengths, etc.
We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.
If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 7 or 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.
