Germany squad urged to honour Holocaust victims

The Germany squad for June's Euro 2012, to be co-hosted by Poland and the Ukraine, has been urged to visit one of those countries' Holocaust memorials by the chairman of Germany's Central Council for Jews.

"I find it inconceivable that the Germans would not visit the Holocaust memorial at Auschwitz or Babi Yar.

"It would send a disastrous signal to the world if the Germans did not visit a memorial. The young players do not carry the blame, but they do have a responsibility."

This is fully out of proportion. Its all another way to throw guilt on Germany's image, and its simply disgusting.

These guys are obliged to go, but it will be less of a symbol of Germany mourning a terrible tragedy, and instead will be a symbol of the world community(Jewish elitists) rubbing it in Germany's face.


Its not an act of honor, but of humiliation, which is disguised as an act of noble and honor. Its completely out of wack, and I don't know how the Germans can put up with this subtle and psychological form of humiliation anymore before the cork blows off from the pressue.

They should rather focus on what their grandparents have done to their European (in this case Polish) neighbours instead of the Jews.

The Polacks were the first to take up arms for the Germans as soon as they surrendered.

On the thread topic, politics should have no place in sporting events, at least not promoted officially. If the players want to go to a Holocaust memorial fine, but I hardly see how it is relevant.

Well, they were the first to be invaded.

My God man, only Jews matter.

Lol yeah. That's why Germany has to be like this over Jews, but Japan can get away with whitewashing their murder of 20 million Chinese, in official school textbooks.
