Memory in Schwerin: 86 years after the pogrom night against anti -Semitism

Schwerin (dpa/mv)-On November 9, 2023, people in Schwerin commemorate the terrible events of the Nazi pogrom night 86 years ago. Prominent personalities were present at a moving memorial event on the slaughterhouse, including the Minister of Culture Bettina Martin (SPD), Landesrabbi Yuriy Kadnykov and Nikolaus Voss, the representative for Jewish life and against anti -Semitism. This ceremony is reminiscent of the destruction of synagogues and Jewish shops as well as the brutal attacks on Jews that took place throughout Germany at the time.

"November 9, 1938 did not come from nowhere. Years of agitation, the spread of anti-Semitism and conspiracy stories against Jews by the Nazi regime and his helpers," said Martin. Your words are an urgent appeal not to forget the teachings from history. She emphasized that this warns us that the words followed terrible deeds.
