Germany Urges EU States to Fulfill Pledge to Criminalise Holocaust Denial – Foreign Minister

Jan 26, 2020

Germany is urging European Union member states to implement measures to counter rising antisemitism in Europe and fulfill their pledge to criminalise Holocaust denial, German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas stated in an op-ed in Der Spiegel magazine ahead of the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp.

Maas lamented the rise of antisemitism in Germany, which he stated has become a part of everyday life. The minister made reference to an October shooting at a synagogue in the city of Halle, in which two people died. Additionally, Maas noted that over 400 incidents of antisemitism were recorded in the German capital of Berlin in the space of six months last year.
