The Anniversary of the Pogrom Nights: Harburg's Commemoration 💔
Gather your spirits for a poignant remembrance, as Harburg once again honors the victims of the devastating Pogrom Nights in 1938. Here's a lowdown on the touching event, its purpose, and the people who make it a success.
The Bitter-Sweet Gathering in Harburg
- Date & Time: Mark your calendars for next year's somber yet meaningful event (specific date & time to be announced)
- Location: Harburg's historic city center (exact venue will be shared closer to the event)
Recorded in the annals of history, the Pogrom Nights of 1938 saw Nazi troops brutally attack Jewish individuals, homes, and places of worship, including the Harburg Synagogue. The commemoration in our town is a heartfelt tribute to the survivors, the martyrs, and their heroic struggle for human dignity.
A Message of Solidarity
As the temperature drops, and the nights grow dark and chilly, the commemoration serves as a beacon of hope and unity. We gather together, standing shoulder to shoulder, raising our voices in vigil, celebrating our shared humanity, and pledging to act against intolerance and hatred.
The Power of Unity
The honorable Deputy District Administrator Dierk Trispel, along with local Pastors, community leaders, and inspiring figures like Dr. Fang Yu and Björn Jensen will address the gathered crowd, sharing their thoughts, hopes, and unity in the fight against bigotry.
The event takes a powerful turn as we take a march of silent rebellion together, following in the footsteps of those who stood brave against the odds. We pay our respects at the former site of the Harburg Synagogue and gather around to reflect, honor, and remember.
This event, which falls under the inspiring motto of "Remembering the Past for a Brighter Future", promises to be both an intense and cathartic experience that we look forward to sharing with you.
