Even before his election as supreme shepherd of the Catholic Church, the then Archbishop of Buenos Aires had met several times with Rabbi Abraham Skorka for a joint book project. On the subject of the Holocaust, Jorge Bergoglio (later Pope Francis, who died Easter Monday 2025) said: "The Shoah is a genocide like the others of the 20th century, but with one particularity. I don't want to say that it is paramount in importance and the others secondary, but there is one particularity, an idolatrous construction against the Jewish people. The pure race, the superman, these are idols upon which National Socialism developed (...) And every Jew killed was a slap in the face for the living God in the name of idols." (Source: "On Heaven and Earth, Jorge Bergoglio in Conversation with Rabbi Abraham Skorka", Goldmann-Verlag, Munich 2014)

The 32-meter-high Red Tower, a former defense and watchtower, is a remnant of the Pulsnitz city gate and has 117 steps. As the name suggests, this street leads to the town of Pulsnitz, 12 km away. City gates were particularly vulnerable in times of war. Therefore, the defenders attempted to protect them with additional walls and towers. In an emergency, many archers could take up positions on it. The tower also served as a municipal prison for the higher ranks. The city bailiffs imprisoned criminals from the lower classes in the town hall prison. The key to the Red Tower is available at the Kamenz Information Center (please note opening hours): Admission: €1 per person Concessions: €0.50 Source: https://www.kamenz.de/aussichts-tuerme.html

The Franciscan monastery, built outside the city, initially had no direct access to the city. For this reason, the monks purchased a house along the city wall, demolished it, and created a passageway, the present-day monastery gate. In 1770, the gate was built over with a rather impressive Baroque residential building. Source: https://www.kamenz.de/sakrale-schaetze.html#mausoleum
