German president at opening of death camp memorial

German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier attended the opening of a memorial at Maly Trostenets camp outside Minsk on Friday.

Over 60,000 Jews were murdered at the Nazi death camp.

The German president termed 'unbearable' efforts of the far-right AfD to minimise the evil perpetrated by the Nazis.

"And we shouldn't forget: the irresponsible word can lead to the irresponsible deed," Steienmeier said.

He went on to express his concern about cultural anti-Semitism among refugees and asylum seekers from North Africa and the Middle East. 

However he was more worried by the home-grown variety such as in a so-called song mocking Auschwitz prisoners that won a leading German music prize.

"Incidents like that," he said, show me how much there is still to do."
