The German Ambassador in Prague, Dr. Peter Reuss, paid a visit to the Terezín Memorial, one of Europe’s most powerful symbols of human suffering during the Second World War. The visit served as a moment of remembrance for the millions of victims of the Holocaust, as well as a reaffirmation of Germany’s historical responsibility.
German representatives emphasized that remembering the crimes of the past remains a permanent moral duty. Acknowledging Germany’s guilt for the atrocities committed during the war, the Embassy underlined that the lessons drawn from this history continue to shape Germany’s present-day commitment to the protection of human rights and the defense of humanitarian values.
During the Second World War, more than 100,000 people passed through Terezín, with thousands losing their lives there. The visit and meeting with the leadership of the Terezín Memorial were described not only as an act of honoring those who perished, but also as a reflection on the future — particularly the importance of preserving historical memory for future generations.
