Paying Tribute to the Past: "Reflecting on the Past for a Better Future"
_Dive into Harburg's Memorial Days! Let's get started!
Taking place from October 31st to December 3rd, Harburg district's Memorial Days are about to unravel a thought-provoking journey! This diverse mix of schools, cultural institutions, political organizations, and associations will band together to offer a kaleidoscope of events and contributions, all nestled within the heart of Harburg.
The Memorial Days, under the slogan "Remembering for the Future," honors the victims and oppressed of the National Socialist era, with a special emphasis on events and actors within the Harburg district. However, the focus isn't just on the past—these reflective days also tackle today's pressing issues such as extremism, discrimination, and persecution.
You best bet? The commemoration of the infamous Night of Broken Glass happening on Sunday, November 10th! This poignant event starts at 3 pm at Schwarzenberg's Jewish cemetery, where a mournful march will follow before reaching the memorial for the former Harburg synagogue on Eißendorfer Str./Knoopstr.
