[Deutsche Presse-Agentur/EUX-TV] Cardinal Karl Lehmann, chairman of the Conference of German Catholic Bishops, deplored Wednesday remarks by bishops who said walls around Palestinian communities reminded them of the Warsaw Jewish ghetto. In a letter to Avner Shalev, chairman of the Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial in Israel, Lehmann said it was not right to "link contemporary problems or situations of injustice in any way whatever with the Nazi genocide of the Jews." Two Catholic bishops that visited Yad Vashem this week had been quoted saying they were shocked to see on the same day images of the ghetto where the Nazis confined Warsaw Jews and the confinement of Palestinians in the West Bank. Lehmann said, "The German bishops are aware of their historical responsibility. We know that we have to constantly show this anew by being sensitive in our choice of words." 2007-03-09 01:00:00Full Article
