All over Germany, the victims of the hideous pogroms are commemorated, the brutal hunting for Jewish life, which took place in the shadow of National Socialism. The memories of this cruel night are alive and they call us up not to forget!

An alarming signal for every enlightened society!

District Mayor Jörn Oltmann raises his voice against forgetting and says: "Together with you, I would like to commemorate the victims of the Reichspogromnacht. In the night of November 9th to November 10, 1938, the synagogues burned. It was one of the darkest days in German history, at the end of which the Shoah was." With these clear words, he calls up all the democratic forces to fight against the increasing anti -Jewish and inhuman agitation!

a call to memory and vigilance

This warning must not be ignored. If we forget the horrors of the past, we threaten to curse the present again. It is our responsibility to keep the light of memory alive and to actively stand up against any form of anti -Semitism. At a time when hatred and prejudices flower again, we have to stand up for a society that is shaped by respect and humanity.
