German Holocaust remembrance events

Entities: Ravensbrück concentration camp · Polish prisoners of Grüneberg · Auschwitz concentration camp · Förderverein Roma e.V. · Lagergemeinschaft Ravensbrück/Freundeskreis e.V.

Overview

Throughout 2025 and 2026 Germany organised a series of Holocaust‑related commemorations at multiple sites. In early May 2025, organisations near Ravensbrück marked the 80th anniversary of the camp’s liberation with ceremonies, a bilingual brochure on Polish prisoners, a cemetery silence, a new memorial to political prisoners and public outreach. A year later, on 3 August 2026, a rally in Frankfurt honoured the 82nd anniversary of the mass murder of Roma and Sinti at Auschwitz, drawing attention to a reported 24 % rise in anti‑Roma incidents and recent harassment of Roma families by local officials. Additional remembrance activities were reported in July 2026 in Hamburg and Weimar, further underscoring Germany’s ongoing effort to commemorate Holocaust victims and spotlight contemporary discrimination against Roma‑Sinti communities.
