Rote Zora ((英語:Red Zora), from the book ''Die Rote Zora und ihre Bande'' by Kurt Held) was a militant feminist group active in West Germany from 1977–95, known for a series of bombings. The gang bombed sex shops and firms it thought exploited women in the 1970s and 1980s. No one was harmed in the 45 attacks the organisation carried out between 1977 and 1995.〔The Independent, 17 April 2007, p.21 ''Germanys 'Red Zora' terrorist spared jail''.〕 The movement took its name from the 1941 book ''Die Rote Zora und ihre Bande'' by Kurt Held, which tells the story of a red-haired Croatian girl called ''Red Zora'' who leads a gang of orphans committed to righting injustice. ==History== Red Zora began in 1977 as the feminist arm of the Revolutionary Cells left-wing terrorist organisation which saw itself as a rival to the Red Army Faction. It began its attacks with a bomb planted outside the offices of the German Doctors Association to protest against the abortion laws.〔The Independent, 17 April 2007〕 They bombed the Federal Constitutional Court of Germany in Karlsruhe.〔Dark Star Collective, p.101〕 Red Zora split from the Revolutionary Cells in 1986 having become disillusioned with the violent methods of other left-wing groups. It launched a campaign that was designed not to harm. Its last attack was on a Bremen shipyard in 1995. They bombed numerous sex shops, the cars of landlords, the Siemens company, Bayer, and the company Nixdorf Computer AG.〔(Arm the Spirit )〕 Its activists were part-time guerillas, and were known as "after-work terrorists" because most had middle class jobs and carried out their attacks in their free time. Though Rote Zora was a split from the organization Revolutionary Cells,〔Heitmeyer, p.371〕 some members continued to associate with both.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=A herstory of the Revolutionary Cells and Rote Zora )〕 In 2000, a documentary about the group (titled ''Die Rote Zora'') was made by Oliver Tolmein. In April 2007, former Rote Zora member Adrienne Gershäuser stood trial for the attempted bombings of the Berlin Genetic Technical Institute in 1986, and a clothing factory in Bavaria in 1987,〔(Infoshop News - Former Left-Wing Extremist Tried For Failed Attacks in 1980s )〕 receiving a suspended two-year sentence, the maximum she was eligible for.〔(Radical Left-Wing Feminist Given Suspended Jail Term | Germany | Deutsche Welle | 16.04.2007 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Rote Zora」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
