At the message also shows three photos, each indicating a prohibited zone for certain groups. According to the man, the first photo was taken 150 years ago taken and shows a \"blank area\". The next one would date from 75 years later and shows a sign that says "forbidden for Jews." The last one photo would be current and shows beach chairs reserved for vaccinated people. But what exactly is true about that? RATING: The message is partly false. The first year mentioned votes does not correspond to the historical documentation of apartheid in South Africa. Although the second sign corresponds to the time period, there is still room for it possible margin of error. The third photo is correct, although it is missing the necessary ones context. FACTS: On February 28, 2021, the Facebook page posted \'The truth is allowed be seen\' three images on Facebook. There is a kind of prohibition sign noticeable: the first photo shows a \"blank area\" on it a sign, the second "forbidden for Jews" and the third a beach chair \"reserved for vaccinated people only\" vaccinated persons"). In any case, the comparison is not entirely valid. The page selected random prohibition signs from throughout history. In addition, the made up the dates the man quotes. The first photo shows a sign on a beach in Cape Town, South Africa. According to GettyImages it dates from 1976, while RTL places it in 1978. The photo characterizes apartheid in South Africa and shows an area where blacks are not welcome. In any case, it is impossible for the photo to be 150 years old, because the The first apartheid government only came to power in the country in 1948. The board is a typical example of the so-called 'Great Apartheid'; from 1950 the (white) regime indicated places where blacks could settle (the black majority, eighty percent, gets thirteen percent of the total land area). The same reasoning can be applied to the second photo, Those \"75 years ago\" would have been taken. Although the margin is a lot smaller than with the first photo, the statement still lacks some context. A search through Google shows that the photo comes from the image bank of the Institute for War, Holocaust and Genocide Studies (NIOD). The plates were covered then Attorney General of the Netherlands Jan Feitsma hanged, accompanied by other anti-Jewish measures. The sign was most likely made between 1943 and hanged in 1944, as Feitsma was then acting police president. That function is also mentioned on the sign. 75 years ago, in 1946, were the German occupation in the Netherlands and the measures against the Jews past. Such signs would have been built before or during the liberation of the Netherlands World War II have already been removed, emphasizes Prof. Dr. Kees Ribbens, specialized in the Netherlands during WW2 at Erasmus University Rotterdam. \"Although there is not much talk about removing such signs is documented, this probably happened between September 1944 and May 1945.\" The last photo has caused a bit of a stir on social media in recent days media. Yet it lacks the necessary context. On the one hand, fact checkers showed this USA Today, although Knack later added a new nuance. The chairs are - like many other elements - part of one vaccination campaign in Israel. The country is taking a lot of measures to protect people encourage people to get vaccinated. This is how it decided, among other things to enter a COVID-19 passport. That passport, better known as the \"Green Pass\", means that vaccinated people do not adhere to certain measures must keep and have access to swimming pools, fitness centers, etc. Although the chairs were once placed on the beach at Frishman Beach, with... the same inscription, these are purely decorative pieces that run through it receive different inscriptions over the years. The spokesperson for Knack told Knack campaign knows that it was a translation error and that it was not intended to exclusively allocate seats or public areas - such as the beach to vaccinated persons. The inscription was replaced on February 28, 2021. In short, the year indicated in the first photo is wrong. The second year corresponds to the period, but is not exact. The third photo is correct, but lacks the necessary context to understand the full picture. The message is therefore partly incorrect. \--- Left: Message on Facebook: LBongmpxI2YhaiNSBCqSbKV_MOcbQCNdoU3fK_muDxqTqPPpqrDcjgBUmZXuYS_BKTcGQmEu4YPq PecGe1iBU00UJndSiywnU1n0Tn45YbrjRI1-HTtHs7UirEQO1Pti0NF7tIW29Ki5r4K_NtnmvgLU 1hRy- jW7wUDrc459FlRuvAAcAZhWDoKWgDmyFRblgonMMOgN0ECCkRDDwvGKb5qd (archived: Photo GettyImages: notice-on-a-beach-near-capetown-denoting-the-news-photo/2659675?adppopup=true (archived: Article RTL: south africa-prison-robben island-apartheid (archived: Historiek.net article: (archived: End of WW2 Netherlands: world war/orange-bitter-netherlands-liberated (archived: Traces of War World War II: from-1940.htm (archived: Article NOS NIOD: factsma-geliquideerd.html (archived: Fact check USA Today: launching-green-pass-covid-19-vaccinated/6871965002/ (archived: Factcheck Knack: beach-chairs-that-are-reserved-for-vaccinated/article- longread-1707537.html?fbclid=IwAR2xVtyl6cCu12RoI8NeBhrO- QplP4gLOMwQvVPUeXPUf4PCLPuFfLEEjV8 (archived: \--- Contact the dpa fact check team: factcheck-netherlands@dpa.com powered by dpa-newslab | Imprint | Privacy | About:
