    The memorial commemorates the 1,930 citizens of Hanover, who were persecuted and murdered by the Nazis as "Jews" between 1933 and 1945.

    In 2020/2021, the Corona years, there will be repeated protests of lateral thinkers on Opern-Platz. A young speaker compared herself to Nazi resistance fighter Sophie Scholl. Hanover cries out, there is criticism on many levels. Thinking outside the box - not thinking at all - what a shame.

    Since October 9, 1994, the memorial on the Opernplatz in the city center has commemorated the Jewish victims of National Socialism in Hanover.
    The artist Michelangelo Pistoletto designed it as a walk-in pyramid in 1993. Instead of a peak, there is a gate in the middle where two people can sit opposite each other.
    Since 2013 there has also been an information board.
