We are a 100% independent initiative of international Berliners – parents, artists, journalists, doctors, teachers. We want to bring our support to denounce the current genocidal war in Gaza. Join us on October 13 at Neue Wache, to read the never-ending list of names of the Palestinian children killed since October 2023. Like last time, we aim to bring awareness and pay tribute to all the young, innocent victims of Israel’s war on Gaza – and beyond.
In June we managed to read about 8600 names. We now have a list of 8000 more names. We know it’s not complete, especially since the war has expanded to Libanon. Still, we hope to repeat the amazing dignity and emotion we all felt on June 1, when so many people of all generations, Jews, Arabs, Germans and Berliners from all over the world, gathered in utter peace to express their grief and compassion. We also believe in the power of collective grieving as an act of resistance against society’s silence and political inertia.
You can join the event by filling in this form. Each person will read names for approximately 3 minutes. No Arabic skills are required. You can also support us by attending the event, following us on Instagram, or joining our Telegram channel.
The event will be in the same place as before – Neue Wache, Unter den Linden 4 – Germany’s official Memorial to “the victims of wars and tyranny,” what a symbol! As before, we’ll be reading from 10 am until late in the night. Only reading. Each person gets one page, about 40 names.
