Such places are still very important today as a memorial to the many dead. "Now you, O Lord, let your servant depart in peace, as you said..." says the so-called "Song of Simeon" (Gospel of Luke chapter 2, verse 29). However, the many people buried here did not die in peace, but became victims of war and an inhumane tyranny.
The most important and, at the same time, enduring function of military cemeteries (usually called “war cemeteries” in German-speaking countries) is to commemorate this and to remind each generation anew to maintain peace in the long term.translated by•September 11, 2023
