Guided Story
Imagine standing in a place steeped in history and social change. Take a closer look at the shape of the monument in front of you. It speaks of a woman who was tragically murdered on a cold winter day in Berlin in 1919. Rosa Luxemburg was a fervent advocate for social justice. Behind you, the St. Bonifatius Church stands as a reminder of belief and community. This juxtaposition might symbolize Luxemburg's unwavering belief in equality. As you stand here, remember her famous words: "Freedom is always the freedom of dissenters." Each stone seems to echo this spirit.
