US President B,O visit NAZI era Concentration Camp

US president B,O visits Nazi-era camp
US President Barack Obama has paid a visit to the Nazi concentration camp in Buchenwald during his trip to

Germany.

He and German Chancellor Angela Merkel toured the site, where some 250,000 prisoners were held from 1937

to 1945.

The camp has personal significance for Mr Obama as his great-uncle, Charles Payne, helped liberate Ohrdruf, a

satellite camp of Buchenwald.

Earlier, Mr Obama and Ms Merkel vowed to "redouble" efforts to achieve peace in the Middle East in talks in

Dresden.

One day after making a keynote speech in Cairo, Mr Obama said his government would seek a resumption of

peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians.

"The moment is now, to act on what both sides know to be truth," he said.
