Germans have ``special responsibility to Israel:
Germans have a ``special responsibility'' toward Israel, visiting German Foreign Minister Guido Westerwelle said in Jerusalem Monday, as he toured the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial to the six million Jews murdered by the Nazis during World War II. Westerwelle, who had only just arrived in Israel, laid a wreath at the memorial, and was also set Monday night to hold talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman.
JERUSALEM Germany's chancellor Angela Merkel told Israel's parliament that Germans are filled with shame over the Nazi Holocaust and that she bows before the victims.
