Jewish and Roma communities are urging Netflix to take responsibility for the decision to film Foreign things Season 4 in a former Nazi prison Primetimer reported Tuesday. The streaming service at Lukiškės Prison in Vilnius, Lithuania, was filmed as part of an extremely popular science fiction series; the prison was notorious for its Nazi involvement during World War II and its proximity to the horrific massacre of Ponari, which killed 100,000 Jews, Roma, and political prisoners.
In addition to the filming that took place in the Lithuanian prison, AirBnB started offering a Strangers –thematic hotel in Lukiškės, which started receiving visitors on June 4.
The petition, launched on Change.org and now has almost 20,000 signatures, aims to hold Foreign things and Netflix are responsible for wiping out the Holocaust, claiming compensation and apology for the direct damage done to these communities. “It’s not just a mockery of the common trauma of the Jewish-Roma community,” the petition said. “But it further desecrates the living memories of Holocaust survivors and their descendants.”
“We, the Jews and Rroma, call for this petition to be signed and adhered to Foreign things and Netflix are responsible for wiping out their Holocaust. The money earned from this season should be returned to the Lithuanian Jewish and Roma communities, as compensation for the damage caused this season and a public apology from AirBnB, Netflix and Netflix. Foreign things It should be published immediately with a full understanding of how this contributes to the eradication of Holocaust victims and the ongoing persecution of Roma communities. We also demand the immediate closure of AirBnB.
The call to action comes after another Foreign things Dispute
The decision to film in Lukiškės Prison is not the first controversy arising from the latest season Foreign things.
With the advent of Season 4, some fans have taken tattooed numbers on their wrists as a subtle reference to the show. It should be a reference to the story of the main character Eleven; El was grown in a laboratory where she was given a number, not a name, and this number was tattooed on her wrist.
The tattoos, which quickly received negative attention on social media, are similar to the numbers that were forcibly tattooed on Holocaust victims as the Nazis tried to deprive them of their identities and names.
The petition also addresses the trend, writing: “Fans Foreign things now doing numerical tattoos on her hands because they were inspired by the show Foreign things Instagram has even republished photos submitted by their fans; thereby encouraging their behavior. “
“We will not erase it,” says a powerful call to action. “The Holocaust is not for the entertainment industry to create wealth and turn it into a theater. It is our genocide, and it continues for Rome.”
