85 Years After the Outbreak of War – World Peace Day in Rehmsdorf 2024


From a Concentration Camp Subcamp to a Memorial Site: Rehmsdorf remembers the horrors of the past and looks toward the future.


Today, on September 1, 2024, World Peace Day, 85 years after the invasion of Poland by German Hitler fascism, a commemorative event was held in Rehmsdorf. The event was organized by the Protestant Church, the memorial site of the "Wille" subcamp of Buchenwald concentration camp, and the local heritage association of Rehmsdorf village.

The memorial service opened with the song "Bella Ciao," and in the prayers, the victims of fascism in Rehmsdorf were remembered. Afterwards, a separate event hosted by the concentration camp memorial took place in the community center’s festival hall, offering insightful historical perspectives on the "Wille" subcamp and enriched with musical performances. A visit to the museum was also possible and proved to be very engaging.

This was followed by a wreath-laying ceremony at the memorial directly in front of the train station. The day concluded with a visit to a former prisoner barracks, now transformed into a memorial site, serving as a space of remembrance.

Heartfelt thanks go to the organizers! As a former resident of this village with a deeply personal connection to this place, I found today’s commemorative events at this historic site to be a meaningful tribute to the victims and a strong reminder for the future.
