STORYLINE:
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz met with Jewish children in Berlin on Monday to celebrate the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah, also known as the festival of lights.
“There is another reason why the festival of lights here at your school is so wonderful,“ Scholz told the children.
“It shows that we are once again celebrating a flourishing Jewish life in Germany. This is a great miracle, a gift, when you think of the unbelievable suffering that the Germans have brought upon the Jewish people,“ he added.
Scholz also said he was thankful for the support the Jewish community was giving to Ukrainian refugees.
The eight-day Jewish festival began this year on December 18 and lasts until December 26.
Around 40 Hanukkah candlesticks are distributed in the Berlin city area alone, including in front of the Berlin House of Representatives.
The candelabrum at the Brandenburg Gate is one of the largest in Europe.
