The four-term chancellor said young Germans must face “the specters of the past.”
German Chancellor Angela Merkel has warned that every synagogue and Jewish school across the country needs constant police protection amid a rise in anti-Semitism in Germany and across much of Europe.
The four-term chancellor said that young Germans must face “the specters of the past” to ensure that the country does not return to the anti-Semitism that engulfed the nation over 80 years ago. “We have to tell our young people what history has brought over us and others,” she explained. “I cannot advise Jews to wear the kippah everywhere all the time in Germany,” Klein said in an interview carried by the Funke media group. He added he had “changed his mind [on the subject] compared to previously.”
