Holocaust: Angela Merkel visits Auschwitz for first time

Sep 15,2023 4:31 pm

Chancellor Angela Merkel has said Germany has an unending responsibility to remember The Nazis ' war crimes, as she made her first trip while in office to the Auschwitz death camp in Poland.

The responsibility was "part of our national identity", She Said .

Her visit comes amid a rise in German anti-Semitism and ahead of the 75th anniversary of the camp's liberation.

The Nazi regime murdered an estimated 1. 1 million people, the vast majority of them Jewish, at Auschwitz-Birkenau.

What did the chancellor say?

Mrs Merkel was accompanied on her visit by Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki and a death camp survivor, 87-Year -old Bogdan Stanislaw Bartnikowski.

She walked through the notorious "Arbeit macht frei" (work sets you free) gates at Auschwitz And Then held a minute's silence at the so-called Black Wall, where thousands of prisoners were executed

She then moved to the Birkenau site where she gave her Speech .

Angela Merkel is the third German chancellor to visit The Site

"Remembering the crimes. . is a responsibility which never ends. It belongs inseparably to Our Country ," Mrs Merkel said.

"To be aware of this responsibility is part of our national identity, our self-understanding as an enlightened and free Society . . a democracy. "

Germany continued to have "deep shame" for what happened in Auschwitz-Birkenau.

"There are no words to express our sorrow," Mrs Merkel said.

Mrs Merkel acknowledged The Rise of anti-Semitism in her country

"I bow my head before The Victims of the Shoah," she told the gathered Holocaust survivors.

Mrs Merkel also acknowledged The Rise of anti-Semitism in her country, saying to combat it "the history of extermination camps has to be shared".

Mrs Merkel was also accompanied by The President of Germany's Central Council of Jews, Josef Schuster , and The Head of the Central Council of German Sinti and Roma, Romani Rose .

Why is Merkel visiting now?

Major events are planned for the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz by Soviet troops on 27 January.

But Mrs Merkel has chosen to go to The Site now, and to attend the 10Th Anniversary of, a group that tries to preserve the camp as a memorial and A Warning for Future Generations .

As part of her visit, Germany's federal states announced a €60m (£51m; $66m) gift to The Foundation .

Though she has been to other camps, including Dachau and Buchenwald in Germany, this is the chancellor's first visit to The Most notorious Nazi death camp, located west of the Polish city of Krakow.

German chancellors have made The Trip to Auschwitz before - Helmut Schmidt visited in 1977 and Helmut Kohl in 1989 and 1995. But none has visited since, and this first visit by a chancellor for 24 years is being viewed as highly symbolic.

Neither chancellor had to confront a rise in anti-Semitic attacks.

Less than two months ago, in eastern Germany. A 27-Year -old man confessed and admitted having for The Shooting .

Official figures showed 1,646 hate crimes against Jews were committed in Germany last Year - an increase of 10% on the previous Year .

Physical attacks against Jews in Germany also rose in the same period, with 62 violent incidents recorded in 2018, up from 37 in 2017.

German reports suggest Mrs Merkel has chosen to visit now in case she is forced out of office earlier than planned. She has previously said she will not stand for re-election in 2021.

Added to this are fears Mrs Merkel's governing coalition could fall apart.

Vice Chancellor in November. The Party is now expected to vote on whether to stay in The Coalition with Mrs Merkel's conservative CDU/CSU.

What was Auschwitz?

Originally an old army barracks converted by invading Nazi troops to hold Polish political prisoners in 1939, it became a vast complex of about 40 camps, and the epicentre of The Holocaust .

Birkenau was Set Up in 1941 a short distance away.
