With a few minutes of pause, a few hundred people in Halle publicly thought of the victims of the terrorist attack on October 9, 2019 on Saturday afternoon. Life in the market place stood still for a while. From 12:04 p.m. the bells of the market church and the red tower rang. At that time, the heavily armed right-wing extremist and anti-Semitic assassin tried two years ago to cause a bloodbath in the synagogue of the Jewish community in Halle on the highest Jewish holiday, Yom Kippur.
Halle - When he couldn't do this, he shot a 40-year-old passerby.
A little later he killed a 20-year-old in a kebab shop.
Prime Minister Reiner Haseloff (CDU) will lay down wreaths on Saturday at the two attack sites in Halle.
In memory of the victims and their survivors, actions, vigils and rallies are planned in the city until the evening.
