Memory in Speyer: The focus on war victims - ceremony on Sunday!

Speyer, Deutschland - in Speyer will take a moving commemoration in the cemetery on Sunday, November 17, at 11 a.m. to commemorate the victims of war and tyranny. This public event promises to set an emotional sign of the memory, while the city is preparing for the appreciation of those who suffered from the horrors of the war.

Already on Saturday, November 16, the traditional “prominent collection” in the city center will be carried out. Here, local politicians will actively ask for donations for the Volksbund Deutsche Wargräberfürsorge. This collection is not only an opportunity for financial support, but also a call to the citizens to participate in the culture of remembrance and to recognize the importance of commemoration.
