Tips

Geraldo Semifredi

February 26, 2021

Until 1983 there were 2 native soldiers here - one with a helmet, the other without a headgear. Both held a spear over which a flag was draped. Created in 1935, it symbolized the evil spirit of National Socialism. Unknown sawed off the statue just above the feet. It was not put up again, but replaced by a commemorative plaque: "Never again war and fascism". The frighteningly pithy saying "Despite adversity and death forward and upwards" is still present.

As a memorial to the many dead, such memorials or war memorials are still very important today. "Now, Lord, let your servant go in peace, as you said." However, the people who are commemorated here did not divorce in peace, but became victims of war and tyranny.
Many of the places and monuments that you come across along the way are evidence of the horrors of war and tyranny, which is still relevant and relevant today. They all have two essential functions, anew for each generation:
-1- Commemorate and remember the victims
-2- Remind to keep the peace
