    Tips

    May 26, 2021

    As a memorial to the endless number of war dead, such places are still very important today. "Now, Lord, let your servant go in peace, as you said." The people who are commemorated here, however, by no means parted in peace, but became victims of war and an inhuman tyranny.
    The most important and at the same time everlasting function of the soldiers' or honorary cemeteries or war cemeteries is therefore to keep the memory of this suffering alive and – every generation anew (!) – to remind people of the lasting preservation of peace.

        The best 'honor' for the soldiers buried here (and the many other victims of war and tyranny) would be to avoid violent conflicts in the future and to strive for peaceful coexistence between the different peoples.
