SENSATION: State Parliament President Aras is fighting against right-wing extremism!
SENSATIONAL! What is brewing in Baden-Württemberg on July 17th and 18th, 2025 will shock people and make them think! State Parliament President Muhterem Aras (Greens) is leading a memorial tour that not only calls for remembrance, but also fights with all its might against the growing right-wing extremism! The President's words make it clear that we all have a duty: "These memorials wake us up!" Ludwigsburg24 reports about the intricate details of this highly anticipated journey that will delve deep into the dark past!
The shocking stops on the journey include the concentration camp memorials in Leonberg and Vaihingen/Enz! Here thousands of prisoners performed forced labor under inhumane conditions - hundreds died! In the Leonberg concentration camp there were over 5,000 prisoners from 24 nations who had to work their way through the Engelberg tunnel. Unimaginable! In Vaihingen/Enz, 2,500 people were forced to build a bunker and around 1,600 died in agony. Be sure to! These memorials are more than just places of remembrance; they are alarm signals for our society! State Parliament BW reports.
Memories that wake us up!
Of course, the motto of the trip is “Democracy and Remembering – Current Challenges”. This central message is accompanied by a lecture by the renowned political scientist Rolf Frankenberger from IRex - a MUST for anyone who wants to recognize the dangerous tendencies in today's society! The musical accompaniment by the students of the local music school will be emotionally touching and intensify the remembrance at the evening event in St. Peter's Church in Vaihingen/Enz!
We continue on July 18th to the synagogue in Michelbach/Lücke, followed by a visit to the “Men of Brettheim” memorial site. Brave citizens who stood up to the injustice of the Hitler Youth were murdered here, and the dark epidemic of violence and intolerance is repeating itself in our society! The last stop on this journey like a cry for justice is the Jewish Museum in Creglingen!
A call for the future!
These memorials are not only the legacy of a dark past, but also guardians of our present and future! The Federal Agency for Civic Education illuminates How crucial it is to remember the atrocities of Nazism so that they never happen again! If we preserve the memory of the over 75,000 stumbling blocks in Germany, we show the victims the honor they deserve!
The fight against forgetting has reached a new dimension with this memorial trip. When the President of the State Parliament makes an appeal to all of us, it is not just an invitation; this is a ESSENTIAL challenge! The public cannot escape this! Come and be part of this unique initiative that brings the horrors of the past into the present!
