Remembrance Day in Feldberg: Remembering the Reichspogromnacht in 1938!
In a few days it will be the 87th anniversary of Kristallnacht, a dark chapter in German history that cost countless lives. On November 9, 1938, the Jewish population in Germany experienced violent riots in which synagogues, shops and homes were attacked and set on fire. This night is considered the high point of organized anti-Semitism at the time and will also be honored this year with several commemorative events in the region. The Northern Courier reports on a memorial hour that will take place on November 9th at 5 p.m. at the Jewish cemetery in Feldberg, organized by the Wanzka parish and the Feldberger Seenlandschaft community.
The victims are remembered here together with the church, the Hans Fallada School and representatives of local politics. In addition to the memorial event in Feldberg, the memory will also be maintained in Mirow. Stolpersteine for Herbert and Herta Rosenberg are laid there to commemorate the fate of their Jewish fellow citizens. The initiative to clean these stumbling blocks, which will take place on November 9th at 12 p.m. on Mühlenstrasse/corner of Schlossstrasse under the organization of the city of Mirow and the Evangelical Lutheran church community, was particularly well received.
Different forms of commemoration
In Neustrelitz, the commemoration of the Kristallnacht pogrom continues lively. From 5 p.m. we meet at the site of the former synagogue in Altstrelitz to remember together with students from Carolinum. These events are not only a way to reflect on the past, but also a way to raise awareness of tolerance and against discrimination.
A special highlight of the commemoration will take place at 6:30 p.m. in the cinema in the old tiled stove factory. The film “Stars” by Konrad Wolf, which tells the touching story of a relationship between a German sergeant and a Jewish forced laborer, will be shown there. This filmic remembrance gives those present the opportunity to engage with the topic on an emotional and cultural level.
Overall, November 9th in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania offers numerous opportunities not to let the cruel events of the past be forgotten and to honor the memory of the victims. Such events are just as important for the community to send a clear signal against anti-Semitism and for peace and tolerance.
