Holocaust-Mahnmal: Wunstorf, Niedersachsen








The Holocaust Memorial at the Abbey

This memorial, dedicated to the memory of Wunstorf's Jewish victims of National Socialism, was created by Ostap Rebmann in 2002.  At its base is a rotating star of David that features faces filled with dread and fear of death.  The scenes and symbols depicted in this sculpture are meant to be an allegory for the suffering and deaths of Wunstorf's Jewish fellow citizens.  The stones under the sculpture form the shape of a menorah.  Instead of candles, the branches of the menorah are topped with seven stones on which are recorded the names of Jewish citizens of Wunstorf who died at the hands of the National Socialist regime.
