Financial backing secured for the Stolperstein project in Sprendlingen
Miteinander Leben Foundation Supports Holocaust Memorial and Stolpersteine Initiative in Sprendlingen
The Miteinander Leben foundation, a charitable organization that promotes social cohesion and integration, has announced its support for a significant project in Sprendlingen, Germany. The foundation will be funding the theater program by the Frankfurt theater group "La Senty Menti" and the laying of 19 Stolpersteine to commemorate the deportation of Jewish citizens from Sprendlingen during the Nazi era.
The theater program, which includes a performance of the play "All that matters - Worauf es ankommt," aligns with the foundation's mission. The play tells the story of a Jewish girl who flees from occupied Prague across Europe to London during the Holocaust, mirroring the approach of the Stolpersteine, according to Oliver Quilling. A special performance for school classes is planned, followed by discussions to deepen themes of remembrance culture and historical responsibility.
County Commissioner Oliver Quilling emphasized the importance of such projects for society during the check handover. The foundation presented a check for 2,600 euros to the "Friends of Sprendlingen, Association for Local History" association, which is also accompanying the project.
The Stolpersteine are an important symbol against forgetting, according to Oliver Quilling. They serve as a reminder of the individuals who were persecuted and murdered during the Nazi era, and their placement helps to keep their memories alive. The foundation's funding for this initiative demonstrates its commitment to promoting historical awareness and social cohesion.
The Miteinander Leben foundation, established in 2000, supports non-profit projects in various areas, including education, upbringing, inter-cultural understanding, youth and senior care, art and culture, and nature conservation. The foundation prioritizes initiatives that go beyond normal administrative action and promote voluntary engagement.
