Late, however not too late did the City of Burghaun memorialize
her former Jewish Citizens. The memorial plaque, which was
dedicated at the Burghaun castle yard in July 1994, reminds people
of the 300year history of the Jewish community at Burghaun and of
the more than 50 Jewish Burghauners, who were murdered during
the Shoa. The inscription reads as follows:
In remembrance of the Jewish congregation of Burghaun and in
memory of the Jewish citizens who were persecuted during the
Nazis era and of whom more than 50 persons were murdered in
the ghettos and concentration camps.
The consciousness of that guilt makes reconciliation possible and
reminds us always to keep the human rights.
