Remembering the terrible events
The Hamas massacre in Israel on 7 October 2023 represents a deep caesura for Jews in Pankow, associated with re-traumatization, fear and the feeling of constant threat. The terrorist organization murdered 1,200 people in Israel and abducted a further 240 people in the Gaza Strip. In the week following the attack, it called for a worldwide wave of violence against Jews.
