The huge discrepancy between the German President’s words and reality – The German President’s words in Yad Vashem are belied by Germany’s actions – and his own. In May 2017 he laid a wreath on the grave of Arafat and bowed before the man who killed thousands of Israelis. And Germany is not a friend of the Jews today. – Dr. Manfred Gerstenfeld | Israel National News

German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier gave two important speeches toward the end of January. The first was delivered at the Fifth World Holocaust Forum in Jerusalem at Yad Vashem on 23 January. I heard from several people unfamiliar with the German reality that they found it impressive.
The second took place on 29 January in the Bundestag, the German Parliament.
At Yad Vashem, Steinmeier said about the Holocaust: “Germans have tattooed numbers on lower arms. Germans have tried to dehumanize humans and make them into numbers and in the extermination camps to wipe out all memory of them… The perpetrators were human. They were Germans. The murderers, the watchmen, the helpers of the helpers, the collaborators were German. The industrial mass murder of 6 million Jews, the greatest crime in human history, was committed by my compatriots… We Germans have learned forever from history.”
