80 years of Auschwitz: memory and responsibility for the future
On January 27, 2025, a moving commemoration of the exemption of the Auschwitz concentration camp took place at the Ficht Gymnasium. The occasion that coincides with the commemoration was the 80th anniversary of this exemption from Soviet soldiers. These terrible events in which over 1 million people lost their lives in Auschwitz reminded a variety of contributions from the students who had developed them independently. These moving performances included singing of Jewish songs and a lecture on the Reichspogromnacht.
The presentation of his own research was particularly noteworthy, which focused on both Jewish life in Hagen today and in the past. Representatives of the Jewish community held haunted speeches and two students reported on their visit to the Hagen Synagogue and a meeting with a Jewish journalist. The commitment of the students for a lively culture of remembrance made it clear that the responsibility for the processing of history is also among the younger generations.memory culture and responsibility
The students impressively showed that it is important to them to preserve the teachings from history. They addressed the responsibility to ensure that such atrocities never happen again. This commitment is in line with the current efforts to keep the memory of the Schoah awake and pass it on to every generation, as recently emphasized by Chancellor Olaf Scholz. Scholz also took part in a memorial event of the Jewish community of Frankfurt and recalled the victims of National Socialism.
a wake -up call for society
worldwide the memorial events increase on the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz. Around 50 survivors who traveled to various commemorative celebrations reported on their dramatic experiences. Marian Turski, who was deported to Auschwitz in 1944, urged the growing anti -Semitism. These voices strongly remind us that the past must not be forgotten and that the responsibility for clarification always exists.
The commemorative celebrations indicate a clear message: We have to keep the collective memory of the atrocities of the Holocaust in order to counteract the spread of anti -Semitism, hatred and prejudices. "Jewish life must be treated as a matter of course", as Scholz put it, is a goal that has extensive importance far beyond the memorial events.
