Tips from the Community
In the face of the memorial located here, which commemorates the victims of war and tyranny, I would like to offer the viewer a very brief excerpt from a remarkable speech given in 1985 by the then Federal President Richard Karl Freiherr von Weizsäcker (1920–2015): + „We learn from our own history what humanity is capable of. Therefore, we must not imagine that we have now become different and better as human beings. There is no final moral perfection – for anyone and for any country! We have learned as human beings, we remain as human beings vulnerable to dangers. But we have the strength to overcome dangers again and again. (...)“ Richard von Weizsäcker gave this speech, which was widely noted at the time, on May 8, 1985, on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the end of World War II, and his words – even 40 years later – are still relevant.

In his speech on Volkstrauertag 2015, the then Federal President Joachim Gauck expressed some thoughts that I would like to offer the visitor of this war cemetery for consideration: + „This ... is our common hope: that the memory of the suffering of war does not give birth to revenge, but increasingly leads people and nations to seek the way out in a peaceful coexistence of peoples. Just as European integration succeeded in becoming the great peace project of our continent. (…) That soldiers' cemeteries, as Albert Schweitzer once said, may finally be the great preachers of peace. Then, as we have experienced, reconciliation over the graves will be possible. Then peace can be lasting. For this, we bear a shared responsibility.“
