Kaddish in the Bundestag
A moving dayIn an historic speech in the German Parliament on Wednesday, President Shimon Peres read Kaddish and spoke in Hebrew about the personal loss of his grandfather and the special relationship between Israel and Germany that was established in the wake of the holocaust. With the flags of the Bundenstag lowered to half-mast, Germany's political leaders paid tribute to the memory of the victims of the Nazis in a special parliament session in honor of the International Holocaust Remembrance Day. The entire building rose to its feet as the Israeli President read Kaddish for the six million Jews murdered by the Nazis during the Second World War. And here comes the WOT related part Peres also spoke about the present threat to peace and stability and hinted at the threat the Israel currently faces from nuclear ambitious neighbors. The threats to annihilate a people and a nation are voiced in the shadow of weapons of mass-destruction, which are held by irresponsible hands, by irrational thinking and in an untruthful language."
