Köfte Kosher is a commemorative youth project against right-wing violence.
In 2012, Köfte Kosher started as a Jewish-Muslim dialogue project.
In Bremen’s Steintor district, at the junction of Fehrfeldstraße and Humboldtstraße, there is a Memorial Pavilion that was initiated by Köfte Kosher, an art-activism youth project that encourages young people to fight back against discrimination and right-wing violence. Köfte Kosher also works to raise broad public awareness of these crimes. Its main focus is therefore to commemorate murdered people in public space, on the street, in everyday life—in other words, in the very places people are attacked. By putting the biographies of murder victims in the public eye, Köfte Kosher makes sure that they will never be forgotten.
In 2018, we did so by finally renaming the square in Bremen, where our Memorial Pavilion stands. Marwa-El-Sherbini-Platz is now the official name. Marwa El-Sherbini is one of the victims of violence whose tragic fate is commemorated on our Memorial Pavilion. She lived in Bremen from 2005 to 2008.
