Neukölln commemorates the victim of the terrorist attack: a minute's silence for the hostages
On October 7, 2025, Hamas' terrorist attack against Israel marks the second time. On this occasion, the district office of Neukölln commemorates the victims of the attack and the persons killed by the war. This terrible act caused almost 1,195 people to be killed and 251 people were delayed as hostages. The attack is considered the greatest mass murder of Jews since the Holocaust.
The focus of the commemoration is 48 Israeli hostages, which are still kept in the violence of Hamas. At least 20 of these hostages are probably still alive. In order to commemorate the victim, there will be a minute of silence in the Neukölln town hall (Foyer 1. OG) on October 7 at 12 p.m. All interested Neuköllner are cordially invited to participate. It is asked to maintain piety; Inappropriate symbols are not permitted during the event. In order to get to the event location in good time, arrival is recommended until 11:50 a.m., as the Neukölln district office reports reported.
Memories and sympathy in the Bundestag
A year after the terrorist attack, Bärbel BAS was reminiscent of the victims on October 7, 2024. Together with the Israeli ambassador Ron Prosor, she presented five video stones dedicated to the kidnapped hostages. With this emotional commemoration, BAS emphasized the individual fates of the hostages and the pain of its relatives. Alon Gat, a member of one of the victims, demanded the hostage of the hostages and warned of the continuing threats from terror. He spoke of the unbearable uncertainty that has existed for the relatives since the attack.
As a sign of sympathy, the Bundestag set the European stand and the federal flag on half mast. In addition, 110 hostages were freed in November 2025 as part of negotiations. These memorial events show the continued effort to keep the memory of the victims awake and to draw attention to the dangers of terrorism, how launched became.
Social responsibility and memory
The importance of commemoration and social responsibility is also emphasized at an international level. Places such as the Breitscheidplatz in Berlin, the Arena bar in Hanau or the synagogue in Halle symbolically stand for the reminder to give the victims a voice. Remembrance not only means to pause on certain days, but also to stand up every day for living together in peace and humanity. The fight against terrorism requires joint action by the federal government, the countries and the population, like that Foreign office emphasized.
In order to take into account the victims, reflection on security and the support of survivors and their families are of great importance. Responsible action and the honesty of the bereaved strengths the social interaction and remind you that terrorism aims to destroy the diversity of society.
