Israeli leaders marked International Holocaust Remembrance Day Jan. 27 with a series of events, several of them outside the country.
Knesset Speaker Mickey Levy addressed the Bundestag in Berlin, urging German lawmakers and the international community to protect democracy and educate the younger generations against hatred. It was the first time that the Knesset speaker addressed the full German parliament. Newly-elected German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier and Holocaust survivor Inge Auerbacher also attended the address.
