 "Liebe deinen Nächsten ... 25 Jahre Gedenk-, Kultur- und Bildungsarbeit in der Landsynagoge Roth" 

Under the title: “Love your neighbor ... 25 years of commemorative, cultural and educational work in the Roth country synagogue”, we have published a somewhat different commemorative publication to mark the anniversary. We invited cooperation partners and friends, survivors and descendants of the Shoah as well as members and board members to describe their very personal view of our (joint) work and their relationship to our working group in short contributions. In this way, we were able to collect around 50 contributions, which were illustrated with meaningful photos. The aim of this collage of texts and images was to create a multifaceted picture of an association that was founded in a specific historical situation, asked certain questions and developed a type of commemorative, educational and cultural work that was probably typical of the time. Successors will ask different questions and choose different approaches. In this respect, this book may also be seen as a contemporary document. It has also been published in two languages, English and German. If you are interested, you can order it for 19.00 euros from our treasurer Werner Schlag: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..
