Remembering Buchenwald: A Warning to Stay Alert Against Growing Extremism.

Germany remembered the liberation of the Buchenwald concentration camp after 80 years. This happened in Weimar, a city near Buchenwald, with Holocaust survivors present.

Mario Voigt, the governor of the state where Buchenwald is located, called it a place where people were treated horribly. He said the camp was meant to break people's spirits.

Over 56,000 people died at Buchenwald from starvation, sickness, or cruel experiments. Voigt said that the recent attack on Israel shows that some people still want to harm Jewish people.

Former German President Christian Wulff warned about the dangers of growing extremism and political movements shifting to the right. He said these trends make him worry because they remind him of how the Nazi party rose to power.

Holocaust survivor Naftali Fürst, who was imprisoned at Buchenwald, shared his experience and reminded everyone to never forget what happened. He asked people to protect human rights and democracy everywhere.
