From YNet:<\/p>\n

Just before Holocaust Memorial Day, 97-year-old survivor Betty Bausch has again packed her suitcase and travelled to tell young Germans of the harm that their nation inflicted decades before they were born. In recent years, this has become her life’s work.<\/p>\n

The purpose of these talks is not to preach morality or to cast blame on those who only know of the Nazi regime from history books.
