City unveils plan for February 23 events
On February 23, 2018, the city of Pforzheim will commemorate the 73rd anniversary of a significant event in its history. The anniversary, themed "Pforzheim looks around! 23 February 1945 - 23 February 2018", is a day of remembrance that aims to set a visible sign for a coexistence shaped by tolerance and openness.
The city, in collaboration with representatives from church, culture, schools, and society, has put together a comprehensive program for the occasion. One of the key components is the "Image Panel Project", designed to address the question: "How does the younger generation deal with the 23rd of February?" This project invites students to engage with the known image panels of the war-destroyed Pforzheim.
The "Image Panel Project" is not just an educational endeavour, but also aims to encourage dialogue among all age groups. It forms a part of the broader anniversary program, which includes readings such as "Pforzheim you can strike off the atlas", historical walks, and the "Sea of Lights" event.
The "Sea of Lights" event, which saw around 1,500 people gather in the city centre in 2017, will occur again in 2018. This year, it will culminate in a joint blessing of various religions on the market square at the end of the anniversary program.
Another significant event is the laying of "stumbling blocks", a poignant reminder of the past. A new opportunity this year allows individuals to commit personally or online to a resolution text in a prepared book during the anniversary program.
In addition to these events, an accompanying exhibition will be held in the city laboratory from February 9 to March 9, 2018. This exhibition will feature the works of artist Harald Kröner, Susanne Reinmüller (commissioner for cultural education), and young people themselves.
The municipal cinema offers a comprehensive film program as part of the anniversary events, providing a deeper understanding of the historical context. The official program for the 23rd of February can be found on Pforzheim.de.
While the responsible organization for the planning and execution of the program for the 73rd anniversary of the bombing of Pforzheim under the motto "Pforzheim sieht um!" on February 23, 2018, is not explicitly mentioned in the available search results, it is clear that the city and its community are coming together to remember and honour the past, and to look forward to a future shaped by tolerance and openness.
