Today´s
celebrations at Auschwitz should be emphasised. Europe needs to be confronted
with the horrors of the recent past – people who suffered at that death camp
are still with us – and be reminded that we can commit atrocities against our next door neighbour if, for a start, we do not respect him or her, if we do not accept that
Europe is diverse and that diversity is enriching for all of us.
We
mention so often the European values. Good. But then we should take into
account that cultural tolerance is one of the defining principles that shape
our system of values.
