in german history. eighty years on the horrors of the past still resigned was german chancellor angela merkel attending a commemorative service at berlin's largest synagogue. escaped indorsement the jewish life is flourishing in germany once again that is an unexpected gift after the break with civilization that was the holocaust but at the same time we're seeing a worrying and to semitism that is threatening jewish life in our country and other places in the world what jews thought themselves say this anti semitism is expressed increasingly openly in unbridled hate speech on the internet and in the public sphere and all. these anti semitic acts are

a distressing reminder of events eighty years ago. on the night of the ninth of november nine hundred thirty eight the nazis unleashed a wave of violence against jews across germany thousands of synagogues jewish shops and businesses were looted and torched some one hundred jews were killed twenty six thousand were taken to concentration camps but november the ninth is also the anniversary of two other fateful days in german history one hundred years ago in the closing days of world war one the social democrat politician philip shined a man proclaimed a new german republic from a window of the high stag. and in one thousand nine hundred nine pro-democracy protests in east germany led to the fall of the wall and ultimately to the reunification of germany three days that loom large in germany's collective memory . but it's our actions today that show whether we have truly understood and learned

from their consequences said german president fung five. hundred ms nadia devised in our actions we must prove that we germans have truly learned from the past and truly become more vigilant because of our history we need to take action at any time another person's dignity has violated we need to take a stand when our language of hatred spreads its tentacles that we cannot allow a situation where some people claim once again to be the sole voice of the true people and marginalize others. and also. with the far i don't turn it into germany party in parliament for the first time and extremist voices on the rise across the country these were poignant words. are i to for more now i'm joined by do we have political correspondent thomas sparrow he is standing outside. central station tell us i see

a crowd behind you what's going on in the german capital on this historic date. well after a very long day of remembrance a very solemn day of remembrance as we saw in our report what's going to happen now behind where we're standing at the central train station is a protest by a group described as far right they have planned their protest for eighteen thirty local time not far away from where we're standing also counter demonstration and this is a approaches that has been extremely controversial here in berlin in fact local politicians tried to block it arguing that it was inappropriate to hold such a protest here in a day as important as it is for german history but in the end it was allowed to take place and that's what we're seeing both this demonstration and counter-demonstrations also slowly organizing not far away from where we're standing are so we'll have to see how that situation unfolds behind you but next up i mean three truly historic and won't changing events on the same day very

remarkable of course you've got the prague proclamation of the first republic in the one nine hundred eighteen the anti jewish progress in one nine hundred thirty eight and then the fall of the berlin wall a five decades later in one nine hundred eighty nine i know it's difficult to pick one of those but what thomas has shaped germany the most. they have all shaped germany in different ways that's why probably this day house call has been called a day of fate in germany if you look at these three different events they unleashed a completely different process is in germany were you talking about the fall of the wall so closely attached to the values of freedom and democracy whether we talk about the program which foreshadowed the holocaust those are all events that were remarkably significant for germany and that's also the reason why it was such a solemn day of remembrance in that's also why politicians have been warning about

the lessons that have to be learned from these events for today where we're seeing rising nationalism and we're seeing populism when we're seeing hate speech when we're seeing anti semitism those are all events that germany has seen in different ways in the past and the germany has to learn from that was one of the key messages from politicians today here in berlin or let's see how much has been learned because the number of end to semitic attacks which include violent offenses in hate speech propaganda has remained fairly steady for a decade at about fifteen hundred a year that's at least according to an interior ministry report what do you make of germany and anti semitism in the year twenty fifteen. well it is something that has obviously caught people's attention here in germany some cases that we've seen that have been reported in the news and that have made also authorities react in fact germany has its first anti semitism commission which is also an important position here in the german government there has been. efforts to strengthen education and

integration in different parts of the country precisely to prevent some of these cases that have been reporting in the news so it's certainly something that politicians are aware of in fact we've had anglo-american in various occasions talk about about the situation and about the fact that the country because of its historical responsibility because of what its origins history also has a responsibility a particular responsibility when it comes to to fighting these events that were reported in the news and that we've heard about various occasions here in germany thomas sparrow reporting keep us posted on how the night involves behind you thank you our let's bring up to speed now with some of the other stories making news around the world. british prime minister theresa may has visited several world war one sites alongside the leaders of france and belgium at the start of a weekend of events marking the centenary of the armistice may set the commemorations were a time to reflect on the country's shared history and look ahead to their shared
