... avert future danger.' It is good that this remembrance in the Federal Republic of Germany has constantly been intensified since 1945. In order to prevent that the evil events of the year 1938 will ever be forgotten, the citizens of Bad Windsheim have donated this stone to commemorate Windsheim's former Jewish citizens, and I am grateful for this as it expresses the commitment to never, anywhere, at any time, let it happen again.
