European People's Party leader visits Auschwitz Museum

Manfred Weber, who leads the European People's Party's (EPP) group in the European Parliament, underscored during a visit to the former Nazi German Auschwitz death camp in southern Poland that "Europe must remember what people are capable of." "In a place like Auschwitz one should be silent", the politician wrote in the visitors' book of the Auschwitz Museum, which he visited on Tuesday. "What is a human being capable of ... because of inhuman racial hatred. Europe is the answer. Europe must remember what people, specifically Germans, are capable of. Never again!" the head of the EP's largest faction wrote.
