Resistance and obligation: Memory of the heroes of July 20 in Schöneberg

Memory of the resistance in the Tempelhof-Schöneberg district

A significant memorial event was recently held in the Tempelhof-Schöneberg district, which was dedicated to the 80th anniversary of resistance to the National Socialist regime. This ceremony is not only marked by memory, but also as an important reminder for today's society. It is a moment that emphasizes the connection between the past and current commitment to human rights and basic values.

The importance of resistance for today's society

In his words, district mayor Jörn Oltmann emphasized that the resistance fighters were not a small group of officers, but that around 200 people from the middle of society came together to actively fight against injustice. "The more groups combine, the greater the danger to fly," he said. This represents an apprenticeship that is also reflected today: the importance of solidarity and responsibility to stand up for a fairer society.

Courage and dangers of the resistance fighter

Lieutenant Colonel Martin Gerdes recalled the courage of the men and women of July 20, who went in mortal danger, not only for themselves, but also for their families. Their commitment and willingness to take incredible risks illustrate the moral dimension of resistance and the urgent need to keep their memories alive. "Somehow we owe this brave that we at least maintain their honor grave," said Gerdes and asked everyone present to actively live the values ​​of resistance.

A call for active responsibility

The call from Oltmann, for a "better Germany, for a human Germany, for a solidarity", is an invitation to everyone to make themselves strong for fundamental rights that are anchored in the Basic Law. The historical reflection on the resistance can serve as a drive to work for the weakest in society today and to fight against any form of injustice.

FAZIT

The memorial event in the Tempelhof-Schöneberg district was more than just a memory act; She presented a call to transfer the historical teachings to the present. The resistance to inhuman regime is an eternal obligation that still has existed today. Due to the local commitment and personal responsibility, the memory of these brave fighters can be kept alive. It is up to us to realize the importance of their combative values ​​in everyday life.
