Today, Germany remembers the November pogroms of 1938.
87 years ago, Jews were targeted in a wave of orchestrated violence in Germany. Jewish shops and synagogues were destroyed. Many Jews were murdered.
These acts of terror paved the way for the Holocaust.

Combating antisemitism and promoting Holocaust remembrance are priorities for Germany. For that reason, @germany.diplo.de has increased its funding for the @wienerlibrary.bsky.social this year. I look forward to continuing the wonderful cooperation during my posting to London.

The Eurofighter Typhoon deal is good news for European security and NATO's deterrence, strengthening a key NATO partner that promotes stability in the region.
Also a great boost for German-British defence cooperation, and a good example of the #KensingtonTreaty's implementation.

Two years on from the inhumane attack on Israel by Hamas, we stand with those who have lost loved ones or fear for them.
We call for a ceasefire, the release of all hostages, and a massive increase in aid for Gaza.
The 20 Point Plan offers hope to Israelis and Palestinians.
