Germany - Germany opens new concentration camp exhibition
Germany opened a museum at the site of the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp, where tens of thousands of victims died during the Nazi era.
More than 60 years after the camp was liberated, politicians inaugurated a new building containing Holocaust victims' diaries, drawings, items of clothing and objects kept by families for years as well as video statements from survivors.
Some 100 survivors of the camp, near the northern city of Hanover, attended the opening ceremony.
“The exhibition is important for future generations”, said Stephan Kramer, General Secretary of the Central Council for Jews in Germany.
"We will never be silent when racism and anti-Semitism is expressed in whatever form," he said.
