Festival Bombing Anniversary: Performance in Berlin - Two Years Later - Festival tragedy inquiries resume after two years, probing for answers about the perpetrators and reasons behind the terror incident.

The global tour of an exhibition commemorating the Nova music festival, which was tragically attacked two years ago near the Gaza Strip, is set to make its next stop in Berlin. The venue for the exhibition will be the iconic former Templehof Airport.

The attack, which occurred on October 7, 2023, resulted in the loss of approximately 411 unarmed lives and left hundreds injured. Following the horrific event, 44 people were taken to the Gaza Strip.

The exhibition, titled "We will dance again," is a poignant testament to the strength of the community and the universal need for healing and remembrance. It will display the festival grounds, materials from there, multimedia installations, and eyewitness accounts, offering a powerful insight into the day's events.

The exhibition has already been shown in several cities, including Tel Aviv, New York, Los Angeles, Miami, Buenos Aires, Toronto, and Washington, before its Berlin debut on October 7 this year.

The patronage for the Berlin exhibition has been taken over by Berlin's governing mayor Kai Wegner (CDU), Minister of State for Culture Wolfram Weimer, and Minister of Education Karin Prien (CDU).

Ofir Amir, the festival founder who was born and raised in Berlin, finds the exhibition's opening in his hometown a significant moment emotionally. The Nova music festival was part of a global tour that has visited several cities, including Berlin, prior to the attack.

The exhibition serves as a reminder of the Hamas terror attack on Israel two years ago, but it also represents a promise of hope and resilience. It stands as a powerful symbol of the human spirit's capacity to heal and find solace even in the darkest of times.
