Frankfurt commemorates the pogrom night: Remember in order to act!
On November 9, 2025, the victims of the pogrom night of 1938 will be remembered in Frankfurt. Mayor Mike Josef (SPD) and Mayor Nargess Eskandari Grünberg (Greens) took part in the memorial service. The November pogroms, which took place more than 80 years ago, led to the destruction of synagogues and massive persecution of Jewish citizens throughout Germany. Frankfurt was also badly affected, as was the case t-online.de reported.
Mayor Josef emphasized how important a living culture of remembrance is in order to process historical events and make them easier for everyone to access. It is essential that we do not forget the atrocities of the past and actively campaign against anti-Semitism and racism. During the pogrom night, not only were many Jewish citizens murdered, but also deported to concentration camps, according to Josef.
Young people's projects to remember
A particular focus is on projects that involve young people in coming to terms with history. A confirmation group in Frankfurt's Westend reconstructed the burnt down synagogue as a Lego model and in “Minecraft”. This shows how modern technologies can be used to keep memories alive. In addition, high school students from the Max-Beckmann-Gymnasium are researching the history of the Jewish cemetery on Sophienstrasse. Their results are made accessible via an app, which underlines the digital visibility of such projects.
In her speech, Mayor Nargess Eskandari Grünberg strongly warned against the resurgence of anti-Semitism and emphasized the importance of speaking out loudly against any expressions of hate. “We have to get actively involved in creating a climate of respect and tolerance,” she said clearly.
Digital educational resources
At a time when digital education is becoming more and more important, it turns out that 94% of teachers use YouTube as a valuable tool in training. This is supported by YouTube's announcement that it is launching a new music education series called 'Think Like a Musician', aimed at teachers worldwide. The content in this series is designed to promote learning in innovative ways and provide students with interactive experiences. Such developments are relevant to bridging the gap between history education and modern media.
Camera choice for amateur photographers
As technological developments advance, it is also worth taking a look at choosing the right camera for all photography enthusiasts. Whether mirrorless, DSLR cameras or compact models – the variety is great and adapts to the different needs of photographers. Loud Target Mirrorless cameras are particularly popular with professionals and offer excellent image quality with high portability. Point & Shoot models are recommended for everyday use. The decision as to which model is the right one depends largely on personal requirements and the planned usage scenarios.
