BERLIN - In what was expected to be one of the last addresses by a Holocaust survivor to the German Parliament, Ms Inge Auerbacher appealed on Thursday to keep alive the victims' memory.
"Unfortunately, this cancer has resurfaced and hatred of Jews is common in many countries of the world, including Germany," she said on the 77th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz death camp. While her grandmother was deported to Riga and murdered, Ms Auerbacher and her parents were sent to the Theresienstadt concentration camp when she was just seven years old.
The speaker of the Israeli Knesset, Mr Mickey Levy, who was also in attendance, embraced Ms Auerbacher and wept openly as he recited a prayer for the dead.
