Once home to a Jewish family who fled from the Nazis to the UK, Alexander Haus on the outskirts of Berlin is being transformed into an education & reconciliation centre.
A moving story that teaches us how to learn from the past. Great discussing it with Angela & @ThomasHarding.

Great to see Steve Rotheram Rotheram of Liverpool City Region visiting Hamburg and meeting First Mayor Peter Tschentscher Peter Tschentscher.
Both port cities share similar challenges on urban development & energy transformation. An excellent basis for future cooperation.

The number of students learning German at A-level in Scotland, and in the UK as a whole, sadly continues to decline.

I told The Herald (£) we're keen to engage with all relevant government education departments in the UK to help reverse this trend.

At conference. I agree with Chief Executive Rain Newton-Smith that we have achieved a more pragmatic UK-EU relationship, but that we still need to improve mobility and visa policy.

National Day of Mourning in Germany, remembering all victims of war and tyranny. The commemoration in Parliament will be led by Federal President Steinmeier and the Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden 🇸🇪.

In Germany “Vergissmeinnicht” forget-me-not is the flower of remembrance.

It was great to have such a dedicated European like Martin Schulz, chairman of the political foundation Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung, in London.

The work of our political foundations for 🇬🇧🇩🇪 relations is of fundamental importance.

Always good to meet Sir Jeffrey Donaldson MP, leader of the DUP, to discuss what can be done to improve the situation in Northern Ireland and to re-establish a functioning NI Executive. I believe the Windsor Framework agreement offers a very good base to build upon.

Germany will double its military aid to Ukraine to €8 billion in 2024, pending parliamentary approval.

This is a strong signal to 🇺🇦 that we will continue to stand by its side as long as needed.

The Bundestag's Budget Committee will deliberate on the 2024 budget on Thursday.

Deeply moved by Manfred Goldberg's powerful testimony at yesterday’s Zikaron BaSalon. Thanks to H.E.T. for organising this important joint event. Their Ambassadors and the Aktion Sühnezeichen Friedensdienste e.V. (ASF) volunteers do amazing work keeping the lessons of the Holocaust alive.
