Invitation to the memorial event on 8 May 2026 for the Day of Liberation from Hitler FascismThe Weissenfels association “Remembering & Commemorating e.V.” invites you on Friday, 8 May 2026, at 4 p.m. to a memorial event for the fallen and victims of the Second World War at the Soviet cemetery of honor on Erich-Lattermann-Straße, Am Klemmberg in Weissenfels. 
The memory of the liberation from Hitler fascism and the immeasurable suffering of the Second World War is more necessary today than ever. For warmongering continues unabated. Instead of learning from history and focusing on peace and diplomacy, the war in Ukraine is, from the perspective of the so-called “values-based West,” being deliberately continued – with devastating consequences. Hundreds of thousands of people have already lost their lives, and countless more are at risk of dying in a conflict that has long since become a war of attrition. NATO military exercises regularly take place in the immediate vicinity of the Russian border, during which Russia is clearly named as a potential adversary – including large-scale maneuvers such as “Amber Shock 26” in Poland or exercises in the Arctic region and on the eastern flank. Such activities are seen by the Russian side and critical observers as deliberate provocation. In addition, there have been drone attacks on Russian territory, including in the Saint Petersburg area, where Ukrainian drones are in some cases operating over or with support from NATO airspace (e.g., Baltic states) or entering it. This significantly increases the risk of escalation. At the same time, commercial vessels linked to Russia (often referred to as the “shadow fleet”) are being obstructed in their use of international sea routes. There have been cases of seizures and threats, which the Russian side condemns as modern piracy. Russia has announced that it will deploy its navy to break through such “blockades.” All of this appears to serve the goal of further provoking Russia and bringing about, or at least risking, a direct confrontation with NATO states. In foreign sources and critical analyses, it is also discussed that parts of German and Western politics may be willing to accept such a conflict, or even instrumentalize it, in order to divert attention from serious domestic political and economic problems – from deindustrialization and the energy crisis to social divisions. May 8 reminds us: Never again war! The memory of the victims of the Second World War obliges us to critically question current escalations, to advocate diplomacy and de-escalation, and to prevent a new arms race and further senseless loss of life. A war does not simply break out. It is prepared, fueled, and ultimately deliberately initiated by political forces and influential lobby groups over months and years. Through targeted provocations, one-sided narratives, military build-up, and economic pressure tools, the same actors create the conditions under which an open conflict eventually appears inevitable. History teaches us: behind every major war are not random events, but calculated decisions by elites pursuing geopolitical, economic, or ideological interests – often at the expense of countless human lives. Even Ukrainian President Zelensky has publicly suggested that Ukrainian drones could disrupt the major military parade for Victory Day on 9 May in Moscow. In a speech to international representatives, he stated that Russia plans this year’s parade without heavy military equipment – out of fear that drones could appear over Red Square. He interpreted this as a sign of weakness. Such announcements do not contribute to de-escalation, but rather further increase tensions. Instead of focusing on diplomacy and negotiations, provocative statements and military actions are being used – with the risk that a positional war could escalate into an even more dangerous situation. The memory of 8 May therefore obliges us to take a close look at who today is once again fueling war rhetoric and pursuing escalation instead of focusing on negotiations and de-escalation.
