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.

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.
We'd like more people in 🇬🇧 to study German.
Discussed 'Making the Case for German' & how to encourage its uptake. Thanks to Bernadette Holmes for her dedication to language learning, Goethe-Institut London & Department for Education for #GIMAGINE & Language Hubs programme, promoting 🇩🇪 in schools.
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.
The Bundeswehr stands at the heart of NATO, working closely with 🇬🇧 & all our partners in defending our values. Our support for 🇺🇦 is unwavering.
Great marking the Bundeswehr’s 68th anniversary with Embassy Defence Attaché Staff & guests. Thanks James Heappey MP for his kind speech.
At Cannock Chase German Military Cemetery, we paid our respects to the fallen servicemen and women and victims of tyranny.
Very moving to take part in the #RemembranceSunday service.
Thanks to the CommonwealthWarGraves and volunteers from the Penkridge Anglo German Remembrance Day Association.
On #Armistice Day this powerful painting from Anselm Kiefer about the horrors of World War One.
