Lights of memory: Memorial event for the Liesinger Synagogue

On November 7th, a memorial event will be held in Liesing to commemorate the destruction of the Liesingen synagogue, which took place in 1938. This event aims to keep awareness of the painful events of the past and maintain the memory of the Jewish community that once lived in this area.

The incident in 1938 was a turning point in the history of the Jewish population in Liesing. It was a time of increasing anti -Semitism that culminated in the Reichspogromnacht when many synagogues in Austria, including those in Liesing, were burned down. These attacks were more than just attacks on buildings; They were attacks on identity and the community of the Jews in the region.

The memorial event is an opportunity for the local community to reflect on together and to pay respect for the victims of that time. The organizers invite the citizens to actively participate in the event and to help keep the memory of these important events in history alive. By remembering these dark chapters of our history, we can make sure that you are not forgotten. This underlines the need to stand up against discrimination and exclusion.

Memories like this are of crucial importance to promote an understanding of the effects of intolerance and to strengthen the values of tolerance and humanity within the community.
