Germany mulls over Nazi past

Rzeczpospolita reports that the German foreign office is entangled in a row about former Nazi party diplomats.

Some modern workers want the government to honour the memory of their Hitler-era colleagues, but foreign minister Joschka Fischer believes the move would damage international relations.

Meanwhile, In an interview in Spiegel Online, Gert Weisskirchen, OSCE's anti-semitism representative, said that more money should be made available to fund basic initiatives to fight anti-semitism.

He said that Germany should do its utmost to ensure that education and upbringing keeps young Germans informed of the country’s nazi past and the holocaust.

However, he said that although right-wing extremism may be more noticeable in Germany, all European countries should actively fight it.
