Remembrence means #reconciliation: Germany accepts full historical responsibility for the atrocities committed by Nazi Germany. An example of this acceptance is the famous ‘Warschauer Kniefall’, of Chancellor Brandt, in Warsaw in 1970. #75Liberation #NeverForget
Remembrance means keeping the memory alive: fewer and fewer contemporary witnesses can give first-hand accounts of the crimes of World War II. Germany promotes international projects, memorials and meeting places. For us, this is a matter of conviction. #75Liberation #NeverForget
Remembrance means #vigilance: Germany opposes any attempt to trivialize the crimes of World War II and the barbarism of National Socialism. We must counteract anti-Semitism and hatred wherever we encounter them. #75Liberation #NeverForget
Remembrance means #education: the atrocities of World War II must not be forgotten. Germany acknowledges our historical responsibility and, among other things, aims to ensure that schools all over the world educate their students about the atrocities. #75Liberation #NeverForget
Remembrence means solidarity: In 1949, Germany adopts a Basic Law, professing freedom, democracy and the principle of the rule of law. The crimes of World War II oblige us to stand up in defence of human rights not only at home but throughout the world. #75Liberation #NeverForget
Remembrance means special responsibility: our own history and the crimes committed by Germany during World War II commit us to stand up internationally for a rule-based world order and multilateralism, also for example within the framework of NATO. #75Liberation #NeverForget
