Vice President Pau Represents the Bundestag at Auschwitz Commemoration on 80th Anniversary of Liberation
On January 23, 2025, Bundestag Vice President Katrin Göring-Eckardt (Alliance 90/The Greens) represented the German Parliament at the 80th anniversary commemoration of the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration and extermination camp.
In her speech at the ceremony, Göring-Eckardt stressed the importance of remembering the horrors of the Holocaust and fighting against anti-Semitism, racism, and discrimination in all forms.
“Auschwitz stands as a symbol of the darkest chapter in human history,” Göring-Eckardt said. “It is a reminder of the unspeakable suffering inflicted by the Nazi regime on millions of innocent civilians.”
She emphasized that the fight against anti-Semitism remains crucial today, saying, “We must never forget the victims of the Holocaust and we must never allow such atrocities to happen again.”
Göring-Eckardt also spoke about the importance of international cooperation in combating hatred and intolerance. “We must stand united against all forms of discrimination and violence,” she said.
The commemoration ceremony was attended by survivors of the Holocaust, representatives from various countries, and high-ranking officials from Germany and Poland.
In addition to Göring-Eckardt, Bundestag President Bärbel Bas (Social Democratic Party of Germany) and Chancellor Olaf Scholz (Social Democratic Party of Germany) also participated in the commemorations.
The anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau has been commemorated in Germany since 1996 as the International Holocaust Remembrance Day. The Bundestag has passed several resolutions condemning the Holocaust and committing to combating anti-Semitism.
The Bundestag’s participation in the Auschwitz commemoration reflects the German Parliament’s commitment to remembering the victims of the Holocaust and fighting against hatred and discrimination.
