President. let there be no mistake. the people and the Government of Germany as a whole. the new. reunified Germany. carry it special burden with respect to the issue of racial and religious intolerance. They bear a special responsibility to protect the rights of all individuals within their borders. There will always be a special scrutiny of German actions as a result of German history. Germany has carried this burden over the past 45 years. and we all had come to believe that there was a new Germany. Indeed. Germany has been generous both toward now refugees and toward victims of past German intolerance. But the past several weeks of violence have offered a disturbing new vision of Germanys future. The vision is reminiscent of Germanys dark past.
