Nuremberg: "The children are the future"

Jo-Achim Hamburger is the chairman of the Jewish community in Nuremberg.

For him, youth means the future, which is why, according to

BR24.de

, he wants to include them in the memories of the Holocaust.

He invited the students to visit the Jewish community.

"I'm looking forward to a discussion there and to the fact that the young people not only talk about Jews, but also see how they live." Together with Mayor Marcus König (CSU), Hamburger wants on Thursday (January 27) at the memorial stone for lay a wreath in the former synagogue on Hans-Sachs-Platz.

The members of the Jewish Student Union in Nuremberg also took part in a nationwide poster campaign.

With the banners and posters they want to highlight places that are important for Jewish life.

Among other things, the main market, the Judengasse and the square in front of the Galeria Kaufhof branch were selected, as those responsible informed the
