Merkel holds first ever visit to Auschwitz

Associated Press|
German Chancellor Angela Merkel entered the hallowed grounds of the former Nazi German death camp of Auschwitz on Friday as she began her first-ever visit to the most notorious site of the atrocities that Adolf Hitler's regime inflicted on Europe.
Merkel also brought a donation of 60 million euros ($66.6 million). The money will go to a fund to conserve the physical remnants of the site -- the barracks, watchtowers and personal items like shoes and suitcases of those killed.
