US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and German foreign minister Heiko Maas met in Berlin yesterday.
They visited the Holocaust memorial in the centre of the city, where they met a 99-year-old Holocaust survivor.
One of Blinken’s ancestors was a victim of the Hitler terror. Blinken is a Jew.
Blinken's stepfather was the only Holocaust survivor of the 900 children of his school in Poland.
Maas and Blinken enjoying a German beer spoke about the close relationship between their two countries and the German foreign minister, with a smile, admitted that in a phone call with ‘Tony' he had the feeling that this was his first time to talk with a US secretary of state.
Obviously Germany and the US are back doing business as close partners after four difficult years.
