Was his voice trembling as he wrote those words? We stand before the Dagobert Lubinski Mahnmal, a memorial plaque dedicated to the courageous journalist Dagobert Lubinski. This plaque, a gift from the Düsseldorfer Journalisten, sits unassumingly on Kirchfeldstraße 141. It whispers a story many tried to silence, a story of resistance and resilience. Dagobert Lubinski, born in 1893, poured his heart and soul into his work as a journalist for the “Freiheit” newspaper here in Düsseldorf. His crime? He dared to speak truth to power, openly criticizing the nationalist tide sweeping Germany. The Nazis, threatened by his sharp intellect and unwavering commitment to justice, imprisoned him. He endured the horrors of Börgermoor and Lichtenburg concentration camps, only to be rearrested. From his cell, he wrote letters, each one a testament to his unbroken spirit. Imagine him, clinging to hope in the face of unimaginable darkness. His letters, smuggled out to his beloved wife, Lotte, and their two daughters, are filled with love, longing, and a burning desire for a better world. In 1943, Dagobert was deported to Auschwitz. He didn’t die there. He was murdered. The Dagobert Lubinski Mahnmal is not just a bronze plaque. It is a reminder. A reminder of the dangers of silence in the face of oppression. A reminder that one voice can make a difference.
