Germany marks the 80th anniversary of the release of the Buchenwald concentration camp

Germany pointed out on Sunday, the 80th anniversary of the launch of the Buchenwald Nazi concentration camp, with one of the former presidents of the country that warns “radicalization and the world turns to the right.”

The governor of Turinia, Mario Voigt, and the former German president, Christian Wulff, spoke in a ceremony in the city of Weimar, near Buchenwald, attended by dozens of people, including several survivors of burned offers.

Voigt classified the concentration camp as a “place of systematic dehumanization” and declared that everything that happened in the extermination field was “designed to break the spirit and human dignity.”

The Buchenwald concentration camp was created in 1937. More than 55,000 of the almost 300,000 detainees in the field and their satellites were killed by the Nazis or hungry or as a result of medical experiences before the launch of the field on 11 of 1945.

In the period before the ceremony, the Israeli authorities opposed the speech to commemorate the philosopher Omri Boehm, grandson of a survivor of the Holocaust and known as Israeli government critic and his actions in Gaza, who led the organizers to eliminate the invitation.

Wulff has launched a warning on the current global political situation and change right in politics That has changed the panorama of Europe and much of the world, comparing it with the Nazi era.

“Due to brutalization and radicalization and a worldwide change to the right, now I can, and this is restless, imagining more clearly how this could have happened at that time,” Wulff said referring to the developments that led to the consolidation of Nazi power.

Wulff requested an active commitment to democracy and the preservation of humanity. “We have a permanent, continuous and eternal responsibility, because we cannot allow evil to prevail again.”

The former German president criticized the increase in anti-immigration feeling, defended by the party of the extreme right party, and said that those who “trivialize” the party “ignore the fact that the ideology of the alternative to Germany is creating fertile land so that people feel uncomfortable in Germany and that are actually in danger.”

92 -Year -dold Naphtali Fürst, a holocaust survivor, spoke at the ceremony placed in the flower held in the old field area. Between 9 and 12 years old he had four different concentration camps, including the infamous Auschwitz.

“At this time, we are very few. Soon, we will definitely pass the testimony of the memory. In doing so, we trust you a historical responsibility,” said Fürst addressing the growing number of burned offer survivors.

“Remember, in our name, what you have learned with us. Because you are the witnesses of the witnesses,” he added.

“Continue to return to this place, Buchenwald, where civilization has been reduced to zero. They are still vigilant in our name and in memory of us,” he added.
