Germany - parliament commemorates victims of Holocaust
Germany's parliament acknowledged the country's special responsibility in the battle against anti-Semitism and racism.
“We remember an unthinkable crime against humanity and a systematic mass murder,” lower house president Norbert Lammert said during a commemorative parliamentary session. “After the bitter experiences of the last century, we do not tolerate any kind of extremism, racism and anti-Semitism – nowhere in the world and especially not in Germany.”
“We Germans want to do justice to our special responsibility,” he said.
