A meeting with the participation of Blumenthal and Sheen at Berlin's "Volksbühne" ("People's Theatre") on November 9, 2014 (the anniversary of "Kristallnacht") was also cancelled after protests. Blumenthal said it would have been "the perfect time to explain how the legacy of the European genocide had inspired our work, to emphasize that 'never again' meant never again to anyone". He later wrote on his personal blog: "I was censored and branded anti-Semitic by left politicians acting as the puppets of American neocons".
