It has been 87 years since the synagogues burned in Germany. An event that made the increasing disenfranchisement and persecution of Jewish citizens by the National Socialist regime visible to everyone and left a painful mark on our collective memory. This memory must be preserved – today more than ever. <\/p>\n

This year, Villa Seligmann is once again commemorating the crimes of that time with a special event. The historian Dr. Peter Schulze and the writer Corinna Luedtke will be speaking. Music from the former New Synagogue in Hanover will be brought to life by Cantor Aviya Nachshon from Israel and the North German Synagogue Choir. Martin L\u00fcssenhop will play the organ. <\/p>\n

\n

This year, we also remember a great friend of Villa Seligmann who passed away last July: Cantor Benjamin (Beny) Maissner<\/strong> (1944-2025) was not only the nephew of Israel Alter, the last head cantor of Hanover before the war, but also a living bridge in the history of remembrance. His maternal family came from Hanover and saved themselves from the Nazis in 1935. He was awarded the Cross of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany in 2014 for his contribution to reconciliation. <\/p>\n

Beny Maissner’s wife Hope and daughter Rivka from Canada will be present at the event.<\/p>\n

\n

A vin d’honneur<\/em> will be served at the end of the program.<\/p>\n

The event is part of the exhibition on the New Synagogue<\/a> in Hanover (1870-1938).<\/p>\n

To register, call 0511 844 887 200 or send an e-mail to: anmeldung@villa-seligmann.de<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Admission to the Villa Seligmann is from 4.30 pm[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]The event is supported by the Lower Saxony Ministry of Science and Culture.<\/p>\n

The North German Synagogue Choir<\/strong> emerged from the original European Synagogue Choir. This was a semi-professional mixed choir based in Hanover, which was dedicated to the rehearsal and performance of sacred Jewish music. Since its foundation in 2009 by Prof. Andor Izs\u00e1k and under his direction, the choir has given over one hundred highly acclaimed concerts in Germany and other European countries, focusing on works whose sheet music and recordings were destroyed and forgotten in many places during the Third Reich, especially during the Kristallnacht in November 1938.<\/p>\n

Martin L\u00fcssenhop<\/strong> has been the artistic director of the Oratorienchor Burgwedel e.V. since 2004. The trained school musician is an accomplished bass-baritone, freelance piano and singing teacher and organist.
