Neubrandenburg: Remembering the victims of war and persecution in November
November is traditionally a month of remembrance in Neubrandenburg. This year there are several events dedicated to the victims of war, violence and persecution. A special commemorative event will take place on November 9th, commemorating not only the pogrom night of 1938, but also the fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989. Mayor Thomas Gesswein will give the memorial speech, while Mayor Nico Klose will lay a wreath. The ceremony begins at 10 a.m. on the synagogue square on Poststrasse, where many citizens gather to commemorate together. The initiative for this day of remembrance comes as an important signal for pause and warning, as is the case Northern Courier reported.
A week later, on November 15th, Remembrance Day is on the agenda. In Neubrandenburg, a wreath will also be laid at 2 p.m. in the Weitin cemetery to commemorate the victims of war and tyranny. These events not only provide space for mourning, but also for reflection on the events of the past and their impact on society today.
Other commemorative events
November 16th also features a number of commemorative events: at 9 a.m. a wreath will be laid in the hospital cemetery, followed by further ceremonies at 11 a.m. in the New Cemetery. The main focus of the day will be at the Fünfeichen memorial at 2 p.m., where Mayor Nico Klose and Brigadier General Ralf Peter Hammerstein will give commemorative speeches.
The commemorations in Neubrandenburg finally reach their climax on the Sunday of the Dead, November 23rd. Two central events are scheduled here: a secular funeral service at 11 a.m. in the mourning hall in the New Cemetery and an ecumenical prayer at 2 p.m. on the Sunday of the Dead, also known as Eternity Sunday. These celebrations invite everyone to pause together and honor the deceased in a special way. In a month that is all about commemoration, it is important not to lose sight of the lessons from the past Strelitzius and Northern Courier report.
