“These days it is necessary to say this clearly: We must confront those who stir up prejudice and incite hatred against people of different faiths and origins. Auschwitz was a German death camp, run by Germans. We Germans owe it to the victims, and to ourselves, to keep alive the memory of the crimes committed, to identify the perpetrators, and to commemorate the victims.… This is not open to negotiation. It is an integral part and will forever be an integral part of our identity.”
How different from what is happening in the US.
