BERLIN: German Chancellor Angela Merkel has said “there is work to be done” in Germany to stop the dark forces looking to find mainstream support in Germany and in other parts of the world. Speaking to CNN after the European elections Merkel said, ‘We have to tell our young people what history has brought over us and others. we have to face-up to the specters of the past’.
Merkel’s observations hold importance as German Jews were warned by a leading government official not to wear skull caps (kippahs) in public due to rise in anti-semitic attacks. She added, ‘Germany has always had a certain number of anti-Semites among us’. ‘There is to this day not a single Synagogue not a single daycare center for Jewish children, not a single school for Jewish children that does not need to be guarded by German policemen,’ she continued.
