A moving day is imminent! On November 9, 2024, the 86th anniversary of the cruel November pogroms will be celebrated - a dark chapter in German history, in which thousands of Jews were brutally pursued, abused and murdered. These pogroms mark the shocking transition from discrimination against systematic persecution, orchestrated by the National Socialist regime. On this fateful day, anti -Semitism was legitimate and the horrors of racism opened openly.
