Never again is now! Commemoration of the 85th anniversary of the Reichspogrom-Night

November 9, 2023

16:30-17:30 on Joseph-Carlebach-Platz (formerly Bornplatz)

‍

The Bornplatz Synagogue Foundation and the Jewish Community in Hamburg invite you to a memorial service on the occasion of the 85th anniversary of the Reichspogrom Night on November 9.

‍

It has never been more important to stand up for remembrance.

‍

Under the title “Never again is now” Let's meet on the former Bornplatz, today Joseph-Carlebach Platz.  

‍

In addition to First Mayor of the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg Peter Tschentscher, other speakers will pay tribute to the memory of the Holocaust.

‍

A book of remembrance and solidarity will be created for participants in the event, which anyone can subscribe to.

‍

Bringing candles is welcome and encouraged.

‍

On this day, we would like to come out of the middle of society as the Vielen den A few stand by and set an example to secure Jewish life in Hamburg - against the existential fear and anti-Semitism that the Jewish community is currently experiencing all over the world.

‍

“They are people who hate, insult, and are violent. And they are also people who want to understand, understand and remember. [..] “Never again; is the inheritance and task for all generations. With this event, we want to commemorate and inform. ”

Daniel Sheffer

Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Bornplatz Synagogue Foundation
