DRESDEN, Germany (AP) - President Barack Obama is in Germany for
a solemn rendezvous with history.
After meeting with Chancellor Angela Merkel in Dresden, Obama is
to fly by helicopter to the site of the Buchenwald concentration
camp. That's where an estimated 56,000 people perished during World
War II. Most were Jews who were worked to death, shot or hanged by
Nazi guards.
The visit comes on the eve of commemorations in France of the
65th anniversary of the Allies' D-Day invasion. It comes the day
after Obama's long-awaited speech to the Muslim world seeking a
fresh start in relations with America.
The speech in Cairo included a scathing indictment of those who
question the Holocaust. To do so, Obama said, "is baseless, it is
ignorant, and it is hateful."
