Memorial Ceremony "Against Forgetting"

This year, the memorial event "Against Forgetting" will take place at the Jewish cemetery in Eimelrod to commemorate the November pogroms of 1938. Together with the municipality of Willingen (Upland), the Protestant Association, and the Uplandschule Willingen, the victims of Nazi persecution will be remembered, particularly the Jewish citizens who were brutally attacked and persecuted. The destruction of the synagogue in Eimelrod will also be recalled.

Speakers will emphasize historical responsibility and tolerance by making a statement against forgetting. The names and fates of the Jews from Eimelrod will be read aloud, making the commemoration particularly personal. Musical contributions, prayers, and moments of reflection will underscore the importance of remembrance for the future.

All men are requested to wear a head covering (kippah, hat, cap) at the Jewish cemetery.
