Germany. At the beginning of September in Berlin the Evangelist Church of Germany opened its first memorial to Nazi victims from Eastern Europe. This is a peculiar confession of church' guilt before dependent "third Reich" workers. After Bishop Wolfgang Huber, there was a labor camp in the cemetery of Jerusalem community in the Berlin district of Neukeln in 1942-1945. More than 100 dependent "third Reich" workers from Russia, Ukraine and other East-European countries used to work there. "For long years the church has been hiding the truth about its exploiting "Ostarbeiteren" during the World War II", - said Huber. He stated the "community and, first of all, young generation of Germans must know about dark pages of our history".
