About a thousand people, most of them descendants of Nazis who took part in the extermination of Jews during the Holocaust, will participate Wednesday in a march supporting Israel through central Berlin streets under the messages "We will not stay silent again" and "The people of Israel live." The march will take place marking the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II and against the backdrop of rising antisemitism since October 7. The marchers will pass through historical sites connected to the Nazi regime, including Hitler's bunker, symbolizing their commitment to learn from the past and prevent its recurrence.
"October 7 was a turning point. We witnessed that antisemitism doesn't belong to the past – it is the present," Bittner said. "When Jewish suffering is met with silence – it's not a coincidence, it's a failure. Antisemitism thrives on ignorance, denial, and the silence of the majority. That's why we cry out: We will not be silent! The time to take a stand is now. Not later. Not quietly." Senior German government officials, Rabbi Abraham Cooper, head of the Wiesenthal Institute, Jewish community representatives, Holocaust survivors, and a representative from the Israeli embassy in Germany are expected to attend the march. They will be joined by hundreds of Germans who are direct descendants of SS members, Wehrmacht soldiers, and Nazi policemen who actively participated in the Holocaust.
