Juden in Frankenthal: Documenting the History of Jews in Frankenthal
Juden in Frankenthal is a non-profit organization that has been dedicated to documenting the history of Jews in Frankenthal since 1992. The organization's main objective is to ensure that the atrocities committed during the Nazi regime are never forgotten, and that future generations are educated about this dark period of history.
The Förderverein für jüdisches Gedenken Frankenthal, or Association for Jewish Remembrance in Frankenthal, was established with a mission to preserve and promote Jewish culture and heritage. The association has been actively involved in various commemorative events and initiatives aimed at raising awareness about the Holocaust.
One of Juden in Frankenthal's primary goals is to document the lives of Jews who lived in Frankenthal before World War II. Through extensive research, interviews with survivors, and archival materials, they have compiled an extensive database containing information on individuals who were persecuted during this time.
The organization also works closely with schools and universities to educate students about Jewish history. They offer educational programs that include lectures, workshops, exhibitions, and guided tours of historical sites related to Jewish life before World War II.
In addition to their educational efforts, Juden in Frankenthal also participates actively in memorial events throughout Germany. They organize annual commemorations on Holocaust Remembrance Day (January 27th) as well as other significant dates related to Jewish history.
Juden in Frankfurt has received numerous awards for their work over the years. In 2017 they were awarded the Federal Cross of Merit by German President Joachim Gauck for their outstanding contribution towards preserving cultural heritage.
Overall Juden In Frankfurt plays an essential role not only within its local community but also nationally by ensuring that we never forget one of humanity's darkest periods while promoting tolerance through education.
