Requiem for Auschwitz at the Hessisches Staatstheater Wiesbaden on June 19, 2018
Excerpts from the speech by Volker Bouffier, Prime Minister of Hesse, at the beginning of the Requiem for Auschwitz in Wiesbaden:
"This requiem for Auschwitz is a memory of all victims. And when we think of Sinti and Roma in particular today, we don't forget the many other victims. It is a need for me to point this out today. We have plans in Hessen Not so long ago signed a state treaty with the regional association of the Hessian Roma. You know, Mr. Rose, that it was a very personal need for me. And we also agreed there that we should not only conclude a contract, but we also wanted it Fulfill life, and this includes indispensably the memory of the victims, whose dignity must at least be preserved in our memory. ...
And if this succeeds in bringing a symphonic body from all over Europe together, then it is also a sign of hope, it is a sign that annihilation was not the last answer. And that's why we also look ahead. ...
And we would like to take this as an opportunity to make it clear to young people in particular,
that it is important not only not to forget, but also in the present
to courageously contradict where contradiction is required and together our future
to design. We want to shape this common future without exclusion, without hatred and
without violence. Music is an outstanding opportunity to bring people of different languages and different opinions together and the future together
to design."
The Hessian state government confirmed the importance of the performance of the Requiem for Auschwitz in the Wiesbaden State Theater with a subsequent reception in the foyer of the State Theater.
