Beforehand, she said she had been touched that Mannheimer, the head of the survivor group of Dachau, had invited her. She said she was travelling there with feelings of shame and sadness, adding: "What happened at the concentration camps was and continues to be incomprehensible." On Saturday, Merkel said anti-Semitism and racism remained a threat to democracy in Europe.
