@RegSprecher Es ist zutiefst beunruhigend, dass die Erklärung zum Jahrestag der Befreiung von Auschwitz die polnischen Opfer des Lagers unerwähnt ließ. “Remembrance means taking responsibility for the past and passing it on to future generations.”The Auschwitz Museum criticised the exclusion of Polish victims from that list. It noted that Auschwitz itself was originally created by Nazi Germany in occupied Poland to house ethnic Polish prisoners. In an effort to “close this gap in our culture of remembrance”, the German government has been working on erecting a permanent memorial in Berlin dedicated to Polish victims of Nazi Germany. Germany’s parliament has passed a motion calling on the government to establish a permanent memorial in Berlin to Polish victims of the German-Nazi occupation.
