VISIT TO SACHSENHAUSEN Participating in the Youth4Peace project in Berlin has been a journey beyond expectations, a journey of remembrance, learning, and personal transformation. Among the most powerful moments was the visit to the Sachsenhausen Memorial and Museum, followed by the deeply moving commemoration ceremony.
Coming from Republic of Moldova, a country with its own complex past and ongoing democratic journey, this experience touched me on a deeply personal level. Walking through the grounds of Sachsenhausen, I felt the weight of history pressing on my chest. It wasn’t just a museum it was a space of silent screams, of injustice frozen in time. Every wall, every gravel path told a story of lives lost and dignity stolen. And yet, amidst this heaviness, I also felt a deep responsibility: to remember, to speak, and to act.
The commemoration ceremony was a powerful reminder of how essential memory is in building peace. Standing shoulder to shoulder with other young people from different countries, we honored not only the victims of past atrocities but also the resilience of the human spirit. Lighting a candle became a symbol fragile yet persistent of our collective commitment to "never again."
