U.S. Vice President Visits Concentration Camp

from DW:

US Vice President Mike Pence visited the Dachau concentration camp memorial site on Sunday, just days after his boss took flack for a bizarre response to a Jewish reporter’s question about anti-Semitism in the United States.

Pence was in Germany to attend the Munich Security Conference, as part of a campaign to assuage allies worried about US President Donald Trump‘s attitude towards defense cooperation.

“Moving and emotional tour of Dachau today,” he wrote on Twitter. “We can never forget atrocities against Jews and others in the Holocaust.”

The vice president visited the memorial alongside his wife, Karen, and daughter Charlotte. They placed a wreath in the center of the camp and attended an on-site church service in honor of the 40,000 people who were killed and 200,000 imprisoned at the camp near Munich. They also met with survivor Abba Naor, who described the horrors of life in the camp to the Pence family.
