CEO Dr. Herbert Diess visits Auschwitz Concentration Camp Memorial Site

 

On Friday, the CEO of the Volkswagen Group, Dr. Herbert Diess, visited Auschwitz Concentration Camp Memorial Site. Together with apprentices from five Volkswagen plants , Diess honored the memory of the one and a half million people murdered by the Nazi regime in Auschwitz. At the International Youth Meeting Center in Oświęcim/Auschwitz, Diess was received by 95-year-old contemporary witness Zofia Posmysz.

 

Volkswagen continues its partnership with the International Auschwitz Committee and the International Youth Meeting Center in Oświęcim/Auschwitz which started some 30 years ago.

 

Diess visited the former Birkenau extermination camp and the former Auschwitz concentration camp and signed the guestbook of the memorial site. At the ash pond, he honored the memory of the European Jews murdered at Birkenau. At the main concentration camp, Diess, accompanied by eight apprentices, laid a wreath at the wall of death and lit candles. At the International Youth Meeting Center, Diess informed himself about the memorial site project “Auschwitz – Remembrance and Future”. Apprentices from five Volkswagen plants reported on their experiences, impressions and encounters from their two weeks of work on the repair and restoration of the memorial site. The apprentices excavate former pathways in the camp or the foundations of occupants’ huts, repair barbed wire fences and clean eroded roofing tiles. They restore the enamel crockery and preserve the shoes of the victims.

 

Herbert Diess, CEO of Volkswagen Aktiengesellschaft, said: “At a time when anti-Semitism and the radical right are again gaining ground, it is important for us to keep alive memories of the incredible degree of contempt for humanity which exceeds the bounds of our present imagination. This is especially important for Volkswagen. I would like to thank both our many apprentices, who now come from several different countries to work on the conservation of the memorial site, and the organizers. These are very important activities for Volkswagen.”

 

Herbert Diess: “My conversation with Zofia Posmysz, a survivor of Auschwitz, will leave a deep and lasting impression. She told us about how and under what circumstances she came to Auschwitz and how she was incredibly fortunate to survive two and a half years. What are her messages? Do not trust any ideology. Although she is very religious herself, she says that you should not trust religion, either. The many young people from throughout the world, including people from Volkswagen, who visit this horrific place give her reason to believe in a better future.”

 

Zofia Posmysz, who survived Auschwitz and Ravensbrück concentration camps, said: “We survivors see the commitment of the Volkswagen apprentices in a very positive light. I would like to thank the young Germans and Poles for coming here together and wanting to know about what Auschwitz means for us and young people in the two countries – back then, we were as young as they are today.”

 

The Vice President of the International Auschwitz Committee, Christoph Heubner, said: “the Volkswagen Group’s memorial site work is modest and unpretentious and has been unique in German industry for 30 years. This is an exemplary commitment at a time where knowledge of the Holocaust in Europe is apparently fading and the ghosts of the past are knocking on our door. Especially through these projects, young people can experience for themselves the meaning of democracy, tolerance and responsibility.”

Volkswagen funds ADL office in Germany for combating anti-Semitism in Europe

 

German car manufacturing giant Volkswagen has joined with the US-based Anti-Defamation League (ADL) to fund a Berlin-based office that will research and combat anti-Semitism in Europe. “The initiative will focus on assessing the root causes of anti-Semitism, extremism, and bigotry in society and develop programs to counter it through advocacy and education,” ADL said in a release Tuesday. A Volkswagen spokesman told the Jewish Telegraphic Agency that the venture will open an ADL office in Berlin, the first ADL presence in Europe in more than a decade. The funding, over the three years, is set to be in the low seven figures, the official said, with an option to expand and continue the initiative thereafter. Herbert Diess, CEO of Volkswagen Group, the largest car manufacturer in the world, announced the bid Monday at the ADL’s annual Washington conference. In an interview with JTA, he said he was concerned about the recent spike in anti-Semitism in Europe, and that Volkswagen had a special obligation to combat racism because of its origins in Nazi Germany.

The initiative will have four components: education in schools, education in workplaces, lobbying in European capitals, and research through surveys. The project came months after Diess faced criticism — and questions over his future — for invoking a phrase used by Nazi Germany. At a meeting in March, the Volkswagen CEO told managers “ebit macht frei,” roughly translating to “profit will make you free,” in an apparent play on “arbeit macht frei,” or “work will make you free.” Ebit is an acronym for “earnings before interest and taxes.”

 

Diess apologized for his remark later, saying it was “definitely an unfortunate choice of words.” The entrance to the Nazi death camp Auschwitz-Birkenau with the lettering ‘Arbeit macht frei’ (‘Work makes you free’). (Joel Saget/AFP) “At no time was it my intention for this statement to be placed in a false context. At the time, I simply did not think of this possibility,” the BBC quoted him saying. Volkswagen was founded in the 1930s by a Nazi trade union and during World War II used concentration camp internees and prisoners of war as slave labor in its factories. While the phrase “arbeit macht frei” originated in the 19th century, it is most associated with the Nazis, who emblazoned the saying on the gates of the Auschwitz and other concentration camps they established.

JFK / RFK turned against their own father and siblings when they assumed the Presidency and AG offices in 1960. That's how deep the swamp already was in the US Government.

Trump proved from 2016 to 2020 that the US Government was run by Big Pharma (Health Care), Military Industrial Complex and a Cartel of Foreign Governments.

 

That's the 'Great Awakening', that these entities had more power than the US Courts, the US Congress, and the President of the United States.

 

November 3rd, 2020 proved it beyond a reasonable doubt.

Jim Banks got banned from Twitter and it barely registered. MTG gets banned and gets 24/7 press (unearned, free).

 

Something's wrong here.
