to Jewish and others suffering during the Nazi Period.

first she was mourning and then she went right afterwards to a event of her election campaign at the market square of dachau, drinking beer and trying to catch some votes, if it would be really important to her she would not visit the concentration camp during her campaign.

Peter, I'm a Jew and I went and had a beer in the town of Dachau after seeing the camp too. Life goes on my friend. I'm just wondering why she is the first Chancellor to visit there. And I wonder what kind of beer she drank after.

ancient history. German's are not guilty of the crimes of their grandfathers

those germans love to commemorate DEAD JEWS, BUT CONTINUE TO DO A VERY VERY ROBUST BUSINESS WITH IRAN. on the other hand....encouraging the eu to ban jews living in judea and samaria.

...its eerie, everyone in the world should go. Thousands of German school children go there with their teachers. I saw the shame in their faces when I was there, but I was impressed by their willingness to face their history. p.s. Most prisoners at Dachau were not Jewish.

things with roots in the past like Oktoberfest, famous musicians and scientific discoveries. Well they can certainly have feelings of shame for the extremely dark side of their history. And those 43,000 weren't killed. Let's not use such a clean word. Tell it like it was......MURDER. merciless, cruel and evil MURDER. And the anti-semitism in Germany continues as I write this.

i feel anger that you have spoiled the earth in that camp that you walked on. people like yourself are a nemesis to the jewish people, you antisemitic zero! most prisoners at both dacau and auchwitz were indeed mostly jews. between the two camps nearly 4 million jews perished there. idiot!

The majority if prisoners held at Dachau were not Jewish, I suggest you do some research. Steve Benassi made a sensible, sensitive comment. The vast majority of young Germans today are aware of their nations past, and there is mostly a positive attitude both towards Jews and Israel. I think Merkel or anyone else having a beer after a visit is perfectly acceptable. I met some young people and survivors from a recent March of the Living visit to Poland and I suspect they too needed a few beers. I doubt they would have been as tasteless in their response to Steve as the nameless idiot

...until you spoiled it with your final sentence. Yes, the majority were not Jews. But why is it necessary to point it out? Jews were "only" 30% of the prisoners - still above and beyond their ratio in the European population, and probably the highest specific nationality over there. But of course, you had to make an ass of yourself here. You cannot make a single comment here without irritating Jews, it is against your nature.

On April 26 1945 American forces liberated the main Dachau camp. According to records of the American Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington 67,665 prisoners were freed, and of that number 22,100 were Jews. What point are you making by saying that 'only' a third of the survivors were Jewish?

It is estimated that around a 200,000 people perished in Dachau . A great part of them NON Jews .The number of Jews murdered at Auschwitz is around one million . Where did you take those 4 million Jews murdered in those two camps ? May i ask you , who's the idiot ? In this case not benassi , nor me . It's the writer of # 8

You wrote that approx a third of liberated inmates in Dachau were Jews . The same as this banassi who wrote that most of the Dachau inmates were NOT Jews .

In particular, bettter than countries that denied their liability for more than 50 years and better than those jews "celebrating" Yom Hashoa by way of BBQ

semitic idol Wagner in Bayreuth !

From 1933 to 45 we had "entartete kunst" in germany , mostly works by Jews . Will you do the same with Wagner ? People can like his music , without being antisemites . It's the music that's important , not the composer himself
