Erich Mühsam: Summer concert on the 90th anniversary of his death

Aktuell
"Why I do not curse the world and humanity" - Poems and texts by Erich Mühsam, set to music by Christoph Schambach. A special evening with poems and texts by Erich Mühsam, set to music by Christoph Schambach, who transformed Mühsam's works into a moving musical interpretation during his service with the unarmed construction soldiers of the GDR. The search for attitude and decency in politically difficult times resulted in a program that is both cheeky and touching. Daniel Morgenroth, a gifted actor, recites and sings the texts and enriches the atmosphere with his unmistakable interpretation. Christoph Schambach accompanies him on the piano. Date: July 19 Time: 19:30 Venue: Jewish cultural ship MS Goldberg Address: Dischinger Brücke / Ruhlebener Straße, 13581 Berlin-Spandau Tickets are available for 20,- Euro (reduced 10,- Euro) at Ticketmaster.de and at the box office. Here's to an evening full of touching poems and musical interpretations!

Petition "Wehrhafte Demokratie: Höcke stoppen!"

Aktuell

Björn Höcke ist ein wahrhaft gefährlicher Feind der freiheitlichen Demokratie. Das zeigt sich immer wieder. Doch es gibt eine Möglichkeit, ihn zu stoppen: Die Grundrechtsverwirkung nach Verfassungsartikel 18. Das ist niedrigschwelliger als ein Parteiverbot – und darum realistischer. Damit dürfte Höcke sich nicht mehr wählen lassen. Unterzeichnen Sie jetzt die WeAct-Petition von Indra Ghosh!

Petition of the "Initiative against Forgetting": Prevent the disposal of evidence of the history of the murderous Hitler regime

Aktuell
© Axel Drieschner

By the end of Hitler's rule in 1945, around 200,000 people with physical, mental and psychological disabilities had fallen victim to the systematic mass murder of the Nazi system. In one of the most important hospital killing centers alone, Schloß Sonnenstein in Pirna, 13720 people with disabilities and 1031 concentration camp prisoners were murdered with the help of gas. The listed ensemble of buildings includes the so-called bus garage, which has been designated a "monument of national importance" and is a unique architectural testimony to the crime against humanity committed by the Nazis. Despite this, a private investor has begun the undocumented demolition of this building in order to convert it into a residential building. The inner structure created by the so-called T4 Action for the bus garage, with its track-bearing walls, floors and fixtures, has already been almost completely destroyed.

What is now taking place in Pirna is the irresponsible disposal of evidence of German history. We urgently call on those responsible to immediately secure and document the structural traces that still remain and to restore the building and preserve its immediate surroundings. What is needed is a form of use that, among other things, preserves the external appearance as a testimony to the T4 murders and leaves the gate front contiguous and unobstructed, visible and accessible to the public.

09 July | 14:30h | Demonstration at Oranienburg train station

As every year, the Forum against racism and right-wing violence Oranienburg calls for a demonstration in memory of Erich Mühsam

The demonstration begins on Sunday, July 9, 2023, at 14:30 at the Oranienburg train station and leads to the memorial site of the former concentration camp Oranienburg in the Berliner Straße. At the memorial site of the former synagogue is planned a stop with speeches.

The organizers want to draw attention to the relevance of the redesign of the memorial site again during this commemorative demonstration and urge that it be implemented as quickly as possible. Here it is to be noted that in this framework also Erich Mühsam receives an appropriate memorial place, which reminds of its life and suffering.

After a wreath-laying ceremony, there is the possibility to visit the memorial stone to Mühsam at the Oranienburg cemetery.
