Esther Bejarano: Bringing your message of reconciliation to life in Advent
The tribute to Esther Bejarano, a Holocaust survivor, takes on a special form: in Saarbrücken, her figure is presented in the impressive nativity scene by nativity scene maker Benjamin Marx. Bejarano, who was born on December 15, 1924 in Saarlouis, left a message of forgiveness and hope for reconciliation, as Pastor Thomas Hufschmidt emphasizes. Especially during Advent, her life story is a reminder not to forget the horrors of the past and to actively fight against forgetting, reported DOMRADIO.DE.
The unveiling of her figure is a moment of remembrance and dialogue about democracy and freedom, which should be rooted in faith. These values are particularly important at a time when there are fewer and fewer contemporary witnesses. Hufschmidt emphasizes how crucial it is for young people to understand the lessons of the past in order to meet the challenges of the present.
Ambassador Thomas Fitschen
In the context of international relations, Thomas Fitschen is another important player. The Oldenburg-born diplomat, who has been ambassador to Bosnia and Herzegovina since October 2022, has had a remarkable career. Before moving to Sarajevo, he was, among other things, ambassador to Australia and responsible for other Pacific countries. Fitschen, who joined the Foreign Service in 1990, held several important positions, including heading the Department for International Cooperation in the Fight against Crime.
His extensive experience in international law and diplomacy is manifested in his commitment to peace and security. At a time when diplomatic relations are of great importance, Fitschen plays a key role in shaping Germany's foreign policy, and here too Bejarano's messages and the memory of the past are of central relevance Wikipedia reported.
