On the morning of May 8, German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier and German Chancellor Angela Merkel laid wreaths at the main memorial to the victims of war and tyranny in Germany, Neue Wache, to commemorate the victims of Nazism. “The liberation came from outside. It had to come from the outside – the country was too deeply mired in its evil, in its guilt.”
But both economic revival and a new democratic beginning in western Germany were possible only because of the generosity, insight and willingness to reconcile the former military opponents,” Steinmeier said on the occasion. The initiative was owned by Kulturprojekte Berlin.
