In the organizer's words:

Moderation: Mirjam Zadoff (NS Documentation Center)

Margot Friedländer died in Berlin on May 9, 2025. Born on November 5, 1921 (also in Berlin), she was the only one of her family to survive the Holocaust. She emigrated to New York with her husband shortly after the end of the Second World War. A trip to the city of her birth in 2003 was another turning point: Margot Friedländer returned to Germany and became one of the most important voices for freedom, democracy and humanity.
In the homage "Margot Friedländer: A Voice for Life" (Sandmann Verlag), Friedländer's quotes meet photographs by Markus C. Hurek, while star pianist Igor Levit wrote the touching foreword. The book is an appeal for the preservation of memory and the advocacy of tolerance and justice. Or to put it in Margot Friedländer's own words: "Be human!"
