World War II remembrance culture thrives on in Pasewalk.
In the quiet town of Pasewalk, a significant event is set to take place, shedding light on a dark chapter of history. The Remembrance Impulse project, currently underway, aims to create a diverse culture of remembrance about National Socialism, focusing on the educational agenda 'NS injustice' in society.
The project, initiated by an unspecified organisation, has been collaborating with the Foundation "Remembrance, Responsibility and Future" (EVZ). The event in Pasewalk, scheduled for September 23 at the Nikolaikirche at 6:30 PM, promises to be a brief and varied presentation of different perspectives on the topic of National Socialism.
Egon Krüger, a local resident who has written three books about this time in Pasewalk, will likely be a key figure in the event. The project assistant explains that Pasewalk was selected with a specific desire to address the topic in rural areas, not just large cities.
The Remembrance Impulse project is not the first to delve into this subject. A study named Memo Study 2025, conducted with the University of Bielefeld, indicates a shift in the culture of remembrance, with a majority in favor of drawing a line under the past for the first time. However, it's important to note that there are also many voices that consider it important to continue remembering the suffering of World War II.
The first deportation waves to the east started from Pasewalk during the time of National Socialism, a stark reminder of the past that the event aims to address. The project's second aim is to examine the status quo of the culture of remembrance 80 years after the end of World War II.
The event in Pasewalk is just one stop in a series of exhibitions and panel discussions about the culture of remembrance of National Socialism. Previous events have taken place in Berlin, Bremen, Dortmund, and Chemnitz, and will continue in Karlsruhe and Nuremberg at the end of the year, with the exact dates yet to be specified.
Admission to the event in Pasewalk is free, making it accessible to all interested individuals and networks in the town. The project's success in Pasewalk will undoubtedly contribute to a broader understanding and remembrance of the dark period of National Socialism, ensuring that the lessons of the past are not forgotten.
