Tips from the Community

JakobusPilger
May 30, 2025, Wind der Hoffnung, des Glaubens und der Liebe Memorial

Even before his election as supreme shepherd of the Catholic Church, the then Archbishop of Buenos Aires had met several times with Rabbi Abraham Skorka for a joint book project. On the subject of the Holocaust, Jorge Bergoglio (later Pope Francis, who died Easter Monday 2025) said: "The Shoah is a genocide like the others of the 20th century, but with one particularity. I don't want to say that it is paramount in importance and the others secondary, but there is one particularity, an idolatrous construction against the Jewish people. The pure race, the superman, these are idols upon which National Socialism developed (...) And every Jew killed was a slap in the face for the living God in the name of idols." (Source: "On Heaven and Earth, Jorge Bergoglio in Conversation with Rabbi Abraham Skorka", Goldmann-Verlag, Munich 2014)

Replica of the gatehouses that used to be common in the Sorbian villages for the 1896 exhibition of Saxon handicrafts and arts and crafts (with Wendish village) in Dresden, documents Sorbian wood construction handicrafts in a specific design, of architectural and regional importance. The so-called "Wendentor" was acquired after the exhibition by the Leipzig wine merchant Gotthelf Kühne and rebuilt in the Seifersdorf valley near the Grundmühle in Liegau-Augustusbad. The replica of the gatehouses that used to be common in Sorbian villages was moved to Nebelschütz in 2006. Source: www.dewiki.de

The turning gate in Nebelschütz is a replica of a gatehouse. Gatehouses used to be common in Sorbian communities, but have now disappeared from the scene. This is the last copy and was originally the entrance to the "Wendish Village", an exhibition.
