German Chancellor Angela Merkel was honoured Wednesday by the Conference of European Rabbis (CER) for her support to the German Jewish community and her denunciation of anti-Semitism throughout Europe.
"The fight against anti-Semitism is a paramount duty of a free democratic state," Merkel said, adding that it was important to invest in education to keep the memory of the Holocaust alive.
