Visiting German FM says Holocaust is warning to fight anti-Semitism
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleVisiting German Minister for Foreign Affairs Sigmar Gabriel says the Holocaust remains a stark warning to work against anti-Semitsm.
Sigmar, who arrived in Israel as the Jewish state marks the Holocaust, reiterated that Germany takes full responsibility for the murder of six million Jews and says it must be “a warning and an obligation to work against anti-Semitism and for human dignity, tolerance and understanding between people.”
“I am standing here today in Israel in silence, confronted with the great chasm, the fracture of civilization of the Holocaust that is incomprehensible, and in front of a nation, who despite this, extended us a hand,” he says.
— Raphael Ahren
