Petition addressed to: Oberbürgermeister Sven Schoeller

Petition for a Memorial Dedicated to the 42 Citizens of Our Partner City Ramat Gan Who Were Murdered by Hamas and Have Fallen in the War Against the Terrorist Organization
Matter of Concern

We call upon the City of Kassel to establish a memorial at a suitable location in Kassel's city center. This site should provide a fitting tribute to the more than forty citizens of our partner city who have been murdered since October 7, 2023, or who have fallen in the struggle against antisemitic terror gangs in Gaza. This initiative aims to make visible the extent of the antisemitic terror that has also affected our partner city, Ramat Gan. It is vital that we remember the murdered and fallen citizens of Ramat Gan. 

Memorial Plaque / Stele
We advocate for a memorial plaque, stele, or memorial stone that commemorates the victims of the war by name and educates the public on the deadly scale that antisemitism can reach. In Kassel, the victims of National Socialism—the majority of whom were Kassel’s Jews—are remembered at various locations. In the recent past, victims of right-wing extremist terrorism have also been memorialized. We believe that by creating a memorial plaque for the victims from our partner city, the City of Kassel demonstrates its solidarity with both the Jewish State of Holocaust survivors and the people of Ramat Gan, thereby upholding the frequently declared responsibility toward German history. 

Voices for the Petition
Every vote counts and brings us closer to the goal of ensuring that the City of Kassel meets its commitment—that nothing comparable shall ever happen again—to this day.
Because: Never again is now!
