German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier paid a solemn visit to Yerushalayim’s Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial on Sunday, Deutsche Welle-Germany reports.
“We Germans have burdened ourselves with unfathomable guilt,” Steinmeier said on Sunday, adding that commemorating the Holocaust served as a reminder of his country’s “pain, sadness and shame.”
“As part of taking responsibility for what happened, we stand firmly alongside Israel and are working together for our common future.”
