German Chancellor Friedrich Merz said on Monday that Germany’s commitment to protecting the Jewish community was being put to the test, condemning the “chilling sight” of kindergartens and synagogues guarded by armed police and protected by bulletproof glass.
In a speech at a synagogue in Munich marking the anniversary of the 1938 pogrom known as Kristallnacht, or the “Night of Broken Glass,” which foreshadowed the Nazi Holocaust in which more than six million European Jews were murdered, Merz said antisemitism had become “omnipresent,” according to Reuters.
“We see it and hear it on our streets, in our cities, in the cities of our European neighbours and around the world, in parliaments, in clubs and in schools,” he said. “That is why this is the moment of truth for ‘Never again’, a phrase we utter so often,” the German chancellor added.
