On the occasion of the anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz concentration camp, which will be commemorated for the eightieth time on January 27, 2025, Mayor Hanno Benz remembers Darmstadt's Jewish faith and Sinti who fell victim to the deportations and genocide perpetrated by the National Socialists. \u201cThe globally observed Holocaust Remembrance Day recalls the horrors perpetrated by the National Socialists and the immense suffering they caused. Especially at a time when antisemitic and xenophobic sentiments, long thought to have been overcome, are once again gaining traction in Germany and around the world, the significance of the cry \u2018Never again\u2019 must be emphasized. To quote Shoah survivor and Nobel laureate Elie Wiesel: \u2018It is impossible to speak of it, but it is forbidden to remain silent,\u2019 said Mayor Hanno Benz. From Darmstadt, over 3,400 men, women, and children of Jewish faith were deported to German extermination camps during the Nazi dictatorship, primarily to Auschwitz-Birkenau, but also to Belzec, Majdanek, Treblinka, Sobibor, and Piaski, and murdered there.\u201d Among them were figures such as Marie Trier (1895-1942), who ran a renowned literary and artistic salon in Darmstadt; the curator of the Hessian State Museum, the art historian Dr. Karl Freund (1882-1943); and the former Minister of the Interior of the People's State of Hesse, Heinrich Fulda (1860-1943). Mayor Benz also recalled Darmstadt residents such as Wehrmacht Major Karl Plagge, who rescued several hundred Jews in Vilna, and Otto Busse, who moved to Darmstadt after the Second World War and did the same in Bia\u0142ystok. Both were honored at Yad Vashem as \"Righteous Among the Nations.\" The official commemoration by the City of Darmstadt will take place on Monday, January 27, at 11:00 a.m. at the Centralstation. The event is a collaboration with the Justus Liebig School in Darmstadt, whose own history is intertwined with the deportations from Darmstadt, and the Darmstadt State Theatre, which will provide the musical accompaniment. Doors open at 10:30 a.m. Bag checks will be conducted upon entry for security reasons. Students from the Justus Liebig School will present project contributions focusing on the role of the school building during the Nazi era, when it was used by the National Socialists as a collection and transit camp for German-Jewish deportation victims from the People's State of Hesse. The LIO school project \"Story Collectors\" will also be featured, including interviews with eyewitnesses and second-degree witnesses. In the evening, Mayor Hanno Benz will address the rally \"Never Again is Now: Together Against Antisemitism and Hatred of Israel.\" The event begins at 6:30 p.m. at Luisenplatz and is organized by the initiative \"Never Again is Now \u2013 Darmstadt\" in cooperation with the Darmstadt Working Group of the German-Israeli Society. The Friends of the Liberal Synagogue Darmstadt are also organizing the walking tour \"In the Footsteps of Darmstadt's Jewish Victims of Auschwitz\" (using the examples of Marie Trier, Heinrich Fulda, and Karl Freund, 2:30 p.m., meeting point: Liberal Synagogue Memorial, hospital grounds, access via Bleichstra\u00dfe\/near Gagernstra\u00dfe). Participation is free. SV Darmstadt 98 will hold a memorial walk on Monday evening. This will start at 5:15 p.m. at Schlossgartenplatz, the founding site of SV 98. The route continues along Ernst-Ludwig-Stra\u00dfe, Holzstra\u00dfe, past the Art Nouveau swimming pool, then along Hochstra\u00dfe and Annastra\u00dfe to the endpoint at Dr.-Karl-He\u00df-Platz at the Merck Stadium near B\u00f6llenfalltor. The commemorative walk will stop at various Stolpersteine \u200b\u200b(stumbling stones) along its route, commemorating members of the student fraternity 98 who were persecuted during the Nazi era. A wreath-laying ceremony, including speeches by Mayor Hanno Benz, will take place at Dr.-Karl-He\u00df-Platz around 7:15 p.m. The world premiere of the song cycle \"Letters to Fred\" by Bracha Bdil will be performed on Sunday, January 26, at 7:00 p.m. at the Darmstadt State Theatre, honoring both the murdered and the rescued members of Fred Herzberg's family. \"The works of Gideon Klein, Dmitri Shostakovich, and Morton Feldman use music to explore the burning questions that remembrance poses for our own humanity in the present and future,\" said Artistic Director Karsten Wiegand. Since 1996, January 27th has been the official Holocaust Remembrance Day in Germany, at the initiative of then Federal President Roman Herzog. Since 2005, at the initiative of then UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan, Holocaust Remembrance Day has been observed worldwide. (DARMSTADT \u2013 \/ fre, stip)"}
