Last contemporary witnesses: memory of Riga and the shadows of the past

Riga, Lettland - Time is pushing! The last contemporary witnesses of the Holocaust are about to end the end of their life, and with them the moving stories and memories disappear. Georg Schulze Bisping, a committed member of the Council in Nottuln, has a mission: he wants to bring young people to Riga to bring them closer to the shocking memorials and the lively culture of this city. A call to students and young adults to deal with the past!

Over 80 years ago, thousands of people were deported to Riga, where they suffered unimaginable suffering. Georg Schulze Bisping recently visited the city and is deeply shaken by the memories. This city, which is full of life and possibilities today, was once a place of terror. The cruel deeds that took place there - from violence and forced labor to murder - must not be forgotten. It is an urgent request to deal with the story and hear the voices of the past before it is too late.

a call to memory

The encounters with the survivors are unforgettable, and Schulze Bisping would like to make sure that the coming generations can not only hear these experiences, but also experience themselves. Riga is not only a modern city where you can drink coffee comfortably, but also a place that is reminiscent of the dark chapters of history. It is time for young people to make their way to visit the memorials and to hear the stories of those who survived the horrors.
