WEEKLY UPDATE #62

Hello dear Friends, This weekend I am at a March of Life conference in Kaliningrad. Until 1945, this city was called "Königsberg" (part of East Prussia). East Prussia was a stronghold of the NSDAP. In 1944, this city was almost completely destroyed by bombs. After the surrender, tens of thousands were killed by hunger, epidemics and deportations. Jewish life was completely destroyed, synagogues were set on fire, and of the 3200 Jews only 60 Jewish families were still alive there after the Second World War. Together with the Germans, they were expelled by the Soviets in 1948. Today the city is called a city of reconciliation. How special that the first first March of Life in Russia will take place here! After the conference, we will go to Kiev, where we will also have a March of Life Conference together with churches and congregations of the Ukraine - they are convinced the Ukraine will not change without working through its own history. You can find all information about this, and about the March of Life in Halle on Nov 3 on my Facebook and Instagram page as well as on www.marchoflife.org! See you next time!
