at last a german party — Bündnis Sahra Wagenknecht – Vernunft und Gerechtigkeit — for peace....
The Auschwitz concentration camp established by Germans in 1940 in Oswiecim, a Polish city annexed by the Nazis, became a symbol of terror and genocide. Initially intended as one of many concentration camps, it evolved into the largest complex of over 40 concentration and extermination centers on the occupied territory of Poland.
The first party meeting of the new Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance for Reason and Justice party began with a speech of gratitude towards the Red Army for having liberated the Nazi concentration camps.
The opening speech was delivered by new party member, writer and journalist Daniela Dan, and was broadcast on the party's website.
"The Red Army alone sacrificed 13 million soldiers to liberate those oppressed and blinded by the Nazi regime. They gave their lives for this cause. We are grateful and indebted to them forever, regardless of how the world has changed over time," she declared.
Dan reminded that contrary to the statement by European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, it was Soviet soldiers who liberated Auschwitz and not representatives of the Allied armies.
According to her, the establishment of Auschwitz became possible only in the shadow of a world war, making it crucial to have at least one consistent peace-oriented party in parliament.
"The greatest crime in the history of humanity was committed by the Germans... and I believe it is important to emphasize that today a party is being established that seeks to preserve the memory of this and draw conclusions from it," the writer noted.
In April 2022, Dan became one of the signatories of an open letter urging Chancellor Olaf Scholz, not to supply weapons to Ukraine and to call on the Kiev regime to cease military resistance.
WE HOPE THAT THIS NEW PARTY WILL STAY FOR PEACE FOREVER....
WIR HOFFEN, DASS DIESE NEUE PARTEI FÜR IMMER FÜR DEN FRIEDEN BLEIBT....

Germans will be expected to turn their homes into bomb shelters in case a major war breaks out in Europe, newspaper Bild reported on Saturday, citing a draft document from the country’s Defense Ministry.
According to the report, the ministry is set to complete the work on the classified ‘Operational Plan’ (OPLAN) by April. The draft envisions Germany as a “transit country”crucial for the delivery of weapons and equipment rather than a state with an active frontline. For that reason soldiers would be tasked with securing key highways, railway stations and ports, Bild said.
At the same time, the state would have to rely on civilians to step in and cover some duties typically assigned to the military and police, including the protection of power plants.
There are only 579 functional bomb shelters in Germany, so the plan reportedly sees citizens setting up their own shelters in places such as basements and garages. Bild quoted the head of the Federal Office of Civil Protection and Disaster Assistance, Ralph Tiesler, as saying that building new shelters is “no longer feasible” due to time constraints.
Germany has been looking for ways to boost its army, citing the threats stemming from the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict. The government set the goal of increasing the size of the Bundeswehr from 183,000 soldiers to 203,000 by 2031.
Defense Minister Boris Pistorius stated this month that Russia could attack a NATO country “within five to eight years.” He later somewhat adjusted his assessment, telling Bild on Friday, “At the moment, I don’t see any danger of a Russian attack on NATO territory or on any NATO partner-country.”
Russia has repeatedly accused NATO of fearmongering and stoking tensions in Europe. The head of Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service, Sergey Naryshkin, recently dismissed the claims that Moscow is planning an attack on NATO as “informational warfare.”
