Excerpt:
German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier on Friday demanded his country's immigrants reject anti-Semitism, characterizing it as a "non-negotiable" condition for living in Germany.
"There are things which are part of Germany. And one of these is our responsibility for our past: the lessons of two World Wars, the lessons from the Holocaust, the responsibility for Israel's security, the rejection of any form of racism and anti-Semitism," said the German president at a Hanukkah event at the Israeli embassy in Berlin.
"For this responsibility, no line can be drawn under the past for later generations – and no exceptions be made for immigrants. It is non-negotiable – for all who live in Germany and want to live here!" he added.
