After being raped by Deco, she was shaved off, put on black and white "clothes" and suffered inhuman torture. She witnessed the atrocities of fascist bandits who destroyed human civilization-shooting at live targets, shooting, electrocution, hanging, peeling, poisonous gas, and artificial retort (pushing poisoned people into flat retort to extract human oil).

When she learned that Prime Minister Brandt had come to Warsaw for atonement, she was filled with mixed feelings and tears, and sent her little daughter Sasha to present the French "Huang Heping" rose to Brandt. Brandt took the flowers, kissed the little girl on the cheek with tears, thanked her and apologized, and wished Mrs. Anne a long and healthy life. At this time, the square in front of the monument thundered with joy, and people couldn't help shouting: "The historical tragedy can't be repeated!" Confession in Auschwitz concentration camp: Two German prime ministers knelt down to apologize for the disaster that Germany launched World War II.

The first thing Adenauer, the first Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany, did after taking office was to sincerely apologize to France, the "old enemy", thus winning the tolerance of France, laying the foundation for Franco-German reconciliation and contributing to European peace. 1949 65438+On February 7th, Theodor Heuss, the first president of the Federal Republic of Germany, said at a rally that "this history is and will be a shame for all Germans." 195 1 On September 27th, 2000, Adenauer, the first chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany, issued a government statement, saying: "Only when the new German state and its citizens feel that they have committed crimes against the Jewish nation and are obliged to make material compensation, can we make a clean break with the Nazi evil convincingly." 1970, German Chancellor Brandt visited Poland and fell to the ground in front of the Jewish Martyrs Monument in Warsaw. He faced the soul of 6 million Jews, and he "knelt down for all those who had to do this but didn't". Hurley, then President of the Federal Republic of Germany, also published the famous Book of Atonement to the whole world. When the news came, the world was moved by it, and all peace-loving people in various countries applauded. 19711On February 20th, Brandt won the Nobel Peace Prize. In an interview with farage, a famous Italian journalist, Brandt talked about her feelings of taking this unexpected action at that time. He said: "I am well aware of the difference between sin and responsibility, and I have a clear conscience. 1May 8, 985 is the anniversary of the German surrender. At that time, West German President weizsacker delivered a speech, arguing that it was inappropriate for Germany to designate this day as "the day of defeat" 40 years after the war. " Today, we should all say that May 8th is Liberation Day, which liberated all of us from the rule of state fascism. "1 August 19941day, then German President Herzog once again apologized to the Polish people at the commemorative meeting in Poland to commemorate the anti-fascist uprising. He said: "I bow before the soldiers and war victims of the Warsaw Uprising, and I ask you to forgive the pain caused by the Germans.

He also said in his speech: "I ask the victim's forgiveness. 1998165438+10, Herzog pointed out at the conference to commemorate the Nazi massacre and persecution of Jews: "Sixty years ago, the massacre of Jews was the worst and most shameless event in German history, and the country itself became the murderer of organized crime." ★ Willing to repay the "war debt" for more than 60 years after the war, Germany has been willing to make thorough compensation. 1998, after winning the general election, the current prime minister Schroeder vowed to pay compensation to those Nazi victims who have not yet received compensation. Some big German companies, such as Siemens, Mercedes-Benz and Volkswagen. It is proposed to set up a huge compensation fund for "Nazi workers", with a total amount of 5 billion US dollars, to compensate more than 1 10,000 survivors of Nazi persecution for the last time. In addition, Germany has paid nearly110 billion marks, or about 55 billion dollars, to Poland, Russia, Czechoslovakia and other injured countries, especially the Jewish people. Not only that, Germany has also strictly stipulated the illegality of anti-Semitic acts in law, and it is not allowed to reverse the case for World War II aggression. ★ Apology from the "doll" In order to remind future generations of the unfortunate experience of the innocent victims of Auschwitz concentration camp, the German government turned many Nazi concentration camp sites into memorial halls for nationals to visit; They also added the content of exposing fascist crimes in textbooks to play an educational role of warning bells. In addition to verbal apology and spiritual repentance, the German parliament also passed anti-Nazi and anti-criminal laws to prevent Nazi scum from emerging. A series of words and deeds in Germany sent a clear message to the outside world: the German government and people are constantly eliminating the influence of the Nazis and bravely and conscientiously shouldering the historical responsibility. As German Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Fischer said in his speech at the special meeting of the 59th United Nations General Assembly to commemorate the 60th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz concentration camp on 24th, Germany will never forget the terrible barbaric acts of Nazi concentration camps and will always devote itself to building a tolerant, open and unbiased society. Brandt knelt down in front of the Jewish monument in Poland and apologized, which was hailed as "the strongest expression of apology in Europe for about 1000 years". Gerhard schroder, the current German Chancellor, personally went to Poland to unveil the Brandt Monument engraved with the scene of kneeling and apologizing. Germany also set up a memorial to the victims of the Nazi Holocaust near the famous Brandenburg Gate in the capital Berlin, which made Hitler's descendants decide never to get married and have children because of a strong sense of shame, thus uprooting the evil family.
