On November 9, 2026, the city of Sulzbach-Rosenberg, together with the SPD local chapter, invites you to a memorial event at the former synagogue in Sulzbach. The focus will be on remembering the victims of Nazi terror and the responsibility to keep history alive.

An Evening of Remembrance and Encounter

The former synagogue on Synagogenstraße 9 provides a dignified setting for the memorial ceremony. As a renovated site of remembrance and encounter, this historical location connects the history of the Jewish community with today's culture of remembrance in Sulzbach-Rosenberg.

The synagogue, newly constructed after the city fire of 1822, survived the November pogroms in 1938 but was later repurposed several times and used as storage space. Since its renovation, it has once again served as a place of remembrance and encounter. A permanent exhibition is dedicated to the history of the Jewish community and the significance of Sulzbach as a center of Hebrew printing.

Commemoration as a Shared Task

The event integrates the anniversary of the November pogroms into the local culture of remembrance. A respectful audience atmosphere, the historic ambiance, and the focused energy of the venue create space for reflection, empathy, and democratic responsibility.

Conclusion

The memorial event invites us to pause together and not leave the victims of Nazi terror to be forgotten. Those who wish to experience a culture of remembrance at an authentic historical site and make a statement against forgetting will find an appropriate setting in the former synagogue of Sulzbach.
