Gröbenzell – “Don’t let anyone tell you who to love and who to hate.” With this statement, Charlotte Knobloch ends her lecture at the Gröbenzell high school in front of over 200 students from the 9th and 11th grades.
The President of the Jewish Community of Munich and Upper Bavaria accepted an invitation from the P-Seminar History led by Sven Kocher, which is taking part in the “Return of Names” project organized by the BR.
The idea behind it is to remember and remember the Munich victims of the Nazi regime and to set an example for democracy and tolerance.
Close connection to grandmother
One of the murdered Munich women was Charlotte Knobloch's grandmother Albertine Neuland, who was sponsored by students from the Gröbenzell high school.
The President touchingly remembers how she experienced saying goodbye to her grandmother as a ten-year-old girl.
Without it being said, it was clear to her that it was a goodbye forever.
Charlotte Knobloch's close bond with her grandmother also becomes clear in the subsequent interview conducted by Alexandra Müller and Tobias Freudenstein.
After her parents divorced, she replaced her mother and took over the upbringing of the girl.
Her grandmother's piety and religiosity were particularly influential.
This gave her guidance in raising her own children and significantly influenced her involvement in the Jewish community.
Finally, Charlotte Knobloch builds a bridge to the present by emphasizing - not only in view of increasing anti-Semitism - the importance of the encounter between Jews and non-Jews.
