Denmark holds torchlight processions to commemorate Kristallnacht

Torchlight processions were organized in Aalborg and Odense to mark the anniversary of Kristallnacht, the 1938 Nazi attacks against Jewish citizens.

In Aalborg, Amnesty International organized a march starting at the 4. maj-kollegiet, moving through the city toward Nytorv. The event concluded with communal singing at the site of the former Aalborg synagogue. Organizers stated the event aims to honor victims of the Holocaust while addressing modern challenges such as antisemitism, discrimination, and authoritarianism.

In Odense, approximately 100 people participated in a procession led by the organization Racismefri By Odense. Co-founder Lene Junker emphasized the importance of remembering the victims of the Holocaust and recognizing the early signs of hatred and violence that preceded the systematic persecution.
