At Yad Vashem commemorating the November Pogroms all over Germany 86 years ago. In the presence of survivors I strongly felt the trust they put in a democratically and morally renewed Germany. It is our duty to keep living up to that trust.

At Yad Vashem today, German Ambassador Steffen Seibert marked 86 years since #Kristallnacht, stressing the importance of #Holocaust education and its impact worldwide and affirmed the government’s commitment to Holocaust remembrance and combating #antisemitism.

We were honored to host Lara Stock (Austrian Cultural Forum) and Christine Ringer (German Embassy). We shared our team’s work, archive, and upcoming plans. Looking forward to fruitful collaboration! 🇩🇪🇦🇹
