Remembering Together: Commemoration Event for the Pogrom Night 1938 in Freiburg
On Monday, November 9, 2026, Freiburg remembers the destruction of the Jewish synagogue during the Pogrom Night 1938. The commemoration event connects a collective moment of reflection at the Old Synagogue Square with a subsequent program at the Freiburg Theater. The evening creates space for remembrance, historical responsibility, and a clear statement against antisemitism.
An Evening Between Place of Remembrance and Theater
The event begins at 5:00 PM and leads participants to the Old Synagogue Square. There, collective remembrance is at the center. Following this, the event continues at the Freiburg Theater, providing a protected framework for the further commemoration celebration.
Historical Responsibility in Freiburg
On the night of November 9, 1938, more than 1,400 synagogues and Jewish institutions were destroyed in Nazi Germany. The Freiburg synagogue was also attacked and set on fire. The event honors the victims and makes visible how important a vibrant culture of remembrance remains for the present and future.
Conscious Event Experience
The calm event atmosphere, the collective moment of reflection, and the transition from the public place of remembrance to the theater space shape the event experience. Organization, event planning, and target audience outreach are directed at all people who wish to engage with the history of Freiburg, Jewish life, and democratic responsibility.
Conclusion: Keeping Remembrance Alive Together
The commemoration event offers a dignified setting to pause, listen, and make historical responsibility visible. Those who want to actively experience Freiburg's culture of remembrance will find an important place for collective commemoration this evening.
