EPA/CHRISTIAN CHARISIUS Miriam Rürup, the new Israeli-born director of the Moses Mendelssohn Center for European Jewish studies in Potsdam, doesn’t like the idea of restoring the Bornplatz Synagogue that was destroyed on Kristallnacht, 1938. Reconstructing this large and beautiful synagogue, reasons Rürup, erases the memory of the Kristallnacht, and the Holocaust. Bringing this synagogue to its full pre-1938 glory, she told the Catholic media outlet Domradio on February 28, “almost seems as if the purified society wants to pick up where it left off in 1933; as if you could undo what your grandparents and great-grandparents did, at least architecturally. But history cannot be corrected.”
