Interview in Berlin with German politician Aldona Niemczyk

Following the invitation of my friend and versatile entrepreneur Valentina Müller, who herself was invited by the host of the evening Aldona Niemczyk, Member of the Berlin House of Representatives, I attended a moving Stolperstein walk in Charlottenburg in Berlin on December 16 with approximately 30 participants. Under the expert guidance of Dr. Christiane Scheidemann from the "Stolpersteine Berlin Initiative", the participants commemorated the fates of Jewish and other citizens who were persecuted and murdered during the Nazi regime. I immediatly felt the strong connection to my hometown Bremen. We have here too Stolpersteine, and one just two houses away from my house is commemorating that a Jewish family deported used to leave here. A Stolperstein (in English "stumbling block") is a ten-centimetre concrete cube bearing a brass plate inscribed with the name and life dates of victims of Nazi extermination or persecution. The Stolpersteine project, initiated by the German artist Gunter Demnig in 1992, aims to commemorate persons at the last place they lived, before they fell victim to Nazi terror, As of June 2023, 100,000 Stolpersteine have been laid, making the Stolpersteine project the world's largest decentralized memorial. Following the walk, Aldona Niemczyk invited Dr. Giddeon Joffe, Chairman of the Jewish Community of Berlin and Jochen Feilcke, Chairman of the German-Israeli Society Berlin-Brandenburg, to a discussion and the Hannukah celebration in the June Six Bistro Bar in Berlin. Rabbi Yehuda Teichtal, founder and president of Chabad Berlin lightend the third candle followed by the typical Festival of Lights celebration with tasty jam doughnuts, delicious smoked salmon etc.. All prepared by a chef who is also one of the owners and who is originaly from Chisinau, and so I was able to speak to Konstantin Pinski in my mother tongue Romanian. A great evening and a successful event organised by the German CDU politician Aldona Niemczyk, that powerfully demonstrated the importance of preserving memory and engaging in dialogue about current challenges for our social cohesion.
