In Seligenstadt, a new feline is honoring the memory of Holocaust victim Emmy Stein.
In the heart of Seligenstadt, a new kindergarten is set to open at the city's stadium, marking a significant expansion in the city's childcare facilities. The new kindergarten, named the "Emmy Stein Kindergarten," is a poignant tribute to a Jewish child who lived in Seligenstadt and fell victim to the Holocaust.
The "Emmy Stein Kindergarten" will cater to a diverse range of children, with six groups: two nursery groups, two mixed-age groups, and two groups for children aged three to six. The kindergarten is planned to provide space for around 110 children, with initial plans to start with the integration of two groups and gradually expand its offerings.
The naming of the kindergarten, "Emmy Stein Kindergarten," was proposed by the operator, Erasmus Offenbach gGmbH. Emmy Stein, born on November 23, 1934, as the daughter of Berthold and Erna Stein, lived with her family in Aschaffenburger Street. On September 30, 1942, Emmy was deported to the Treblinka extermination camp along with 38 other Jewish citizens of Seligenstadt. Her date of death is given as October 1942 in Auschwitz.
The kindergarten carries its name as a memorial to Emmy Stein and serves as a conscious remembrance of her life and the lives of other Jewish children from Seligenstadt who were lost during the Holocaust. The city administration states that the kindergarten should serve as a sign that these children are not forgotten.
The kindergarten will also adopt a multilingual concept, though specific details about this aspect are yet to be disclosed. A multilingual approach in kindergartens is becoming increasingly common in German municipalities to support integration and diversity.
As for the city's investment in childcare, no new facts were provided. However, it's common for such kindergartens to be funded through local government budgets, educational grants, or public-private partnerships.
