It brought the overall amount of compensation Germany has paid to more than 80 billion euros ($79.7 billion). “The payments to survivors and the home care program are very close to our heart,” the chancellor added. Among other payments, 12 million euros ($11.96 million) emergency humanitarian payments will be given to 8,500 Ukrainian Holocaust survivors, and 170 million euros ($166 million) will go to a special hardship fund that will impact approximately 143,000 Holocaust survivors worldwide. As the number of Holocaust survivors dwindles, teaching the coming generations about the atrocities committed during the genocide of the Jewish people becomes ever more important. Therefore, Germany agreed for the first time in the negotiations to specifically fund Holocaust education — with 10 million euros for 2022, 25 million euros for 2023, 30 million euros for 2024 and 35 million euros for 2025.

Am activat pe cont propriu și pe talentul unei echipe, în numele acestei țări, a culturii și devotamentului pentru oamenii pe care îi iubesc și care ne împărtășesc iubire. Toleranța, cu care am trecut primul val al pandemiei cu cortina închisă, a fost una plină de înțelegere și solidaritate, în numele vieții. Astăzi e 27 decembrie și am urmărit marele eveniment – Ziua Actorului și Gala Premiilor UNITEM. Mi-au oprit zborul și mi-au interzis libertatea. Amintim că, pe 27 noiembrie, Comisia Națională Extraordinară de Sănătate Publică a emis o hotărâre potrivit căreia s-a interzis desfășurarea activităților, cu prezența spectatorilor, în incinta teatrelor, a cinematografelor, a sălilor de concerte, a caselor de cultură.

☆ Antony Blinken, nominalizat pentru funcţia de secretar de stat al SUA

Avocat celebru specializat în relaţiile Occidentului cu blocul sovietic, Pisar, născut în Polonia, s-a stabilit împreună cu familia la Paris, unde Blinken a urmat şcoala Jeannine Manuel în perioada când SUA se împotmoleau în războiul din Vietnam. În anii petrecuţi la Paris, viitorul secretar de stat şi-a descoperit şi latura muzicală - a încercat jazzul şi a fost pasionat de rock în asemenea măsură încât a citat din Pink Floyd în albumul foto al uneia din promoţiile liceului unde a învăţat. După ce s-a ascuns două zile prin păduri, Pisar a auzit un tanc care se apropia; spre uşurarea lui, din blindat a ieşit un soldat american. Tânărul polonez a îngenunchiat şi a rostit singurele trei cuvinte în engleză pe care le ştia: 'God bless America' - Dumnezeu să binecuvânteze America. Militarul l-a ridicat de jos şi l-a pus să intre în tanc, adică 'metaforic, în Statele Unite, către libertate', a explicat Blinken, care a conchis: 'Asta e ţara cu care am crescut: Statele Unite jucând acest rol atât de primitor, unic şi extraordinar', scrie agerpres.ro.
