Rapidly moved about the room, destroying various objects.
In the heart of Düsseldorf, two striking poster motifs have been displayed, serving as a poignant reminder of the November pogrom that took place all those years ago. The events being remembered on November 9th and 10th, 1938, are those of Kristallnacht, a significant escalation in Nazi anti-Jewish persecution.
During Kristallnacht, Nazi paramilitary forces and civilians ravaged Jewish communities across Nazi Germany and Austria, including Düsseldorf. Jewish businesses, homes, and synagogues were destroyed, properties were looted, and thousands of Jewish men were arrested, many of whom were sent to concentration camps such as Dachau.
To honour the victims of Kristallnacht and ensure the history and lessons of these events remain present in public awareness, the city of Düsseldorf has launched the "Düsseldorf Remembers" campaign. Under this campaign, the city organises a series of commemorative activities, including memorial events, educational programs, and exhibitions.
The "Düsseldorf Remembers" concept, developed by the city with all partners considered and infection protection taken into account, extends until November 16th. The specific activities under this campaign might need to be confirmed directly from Düsseldorf's official cultural or memorial organisations.
Mayor Thomas Geisel emphasises the importance of remembering the events of November 9th and 10th, 1938, in Düsseldorf. Hanna Zürndorfer, an eyewitness, describes the November pogrom as "storming through rooms, smashing, shattering, and trampling everything."
For those interested in learning more about the "Düsseldorf Remembers" activities, they can visit www.duesseldorf.de. The Memorial and Documentation Site also provides daily contributions with quotes from eyewitnesses on its Facebook page and own Instagram account.
The "Düsseldorf Remembers" concept is not specified to include any advertisements, focusing instead on factual information and the promotion of tolerance and reflection on the Holocaust.
