Candles on the 7-armed Candleholder Menorah radiated their mild light on the Nörvenich Castle. The silver-plated candleholder is from the collection of sacral objects of the Museum Europäische Kunst.

Very pleased was recently the president of the German Cancer Aid society, Prof. Dr. Dagmar Schipanski, at this gala performance on the TV station ZDF. This successful cancer society was founded by the former German first lady, Mildred Scheel. The charming TV host Carmen Nebel had made clear in her first broadcast of the program „Hand in Hand" that anyone can become sick with cancer. For this reason, donations to the German Cancer Aid society are well spent, in order to fight this horrible disease. The photo shows Prof. Schipanski and Carmen Nebel, surrounded by yourn artists of the musical „Starlight Express". The gentleman in white in the center is the well-known TV chef Ralf Zacherl. He mainly supports the fight against cancer in children. For our article, see ZDF-Gala Hand in Hand ...
