German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier said Thursday after meeting with Jewish leaders at the site of a deadly anti-Semitic attack that the country had a duty to protect Jews on its soil.
"It must be clear that the state takes responsibility for Jewish life, for the security of Jewish life in Germany," he said, underlining the country's commitment to atoning for the Holocaust.
"We must protect Jewish life."
"History warns us and the present demands this of us."
"We must show this and not just in the coming days," he said. "We need to stand steadfastly together."
