Translation
What is the basis for Germany's special responsibility towards Israel?
- A from the membership in the European Union (EU)
- B from the National Socialist crimes against Jews ✓ Correct answer
- C from the Basic Law of the Federal Republic of Germany
- D from the Christian tradition
Explanation
Germany's special responsibility toward Israel comes from the crimes committed by the National Socialist regime against Jews, above all the Holocaust. EU membership, the Basic Law, and Christian tradition are separate matters and do not explain this specific historical duty.
Tips
- Look for the link to National Socialism and the Holocaust whenever a question mentions this special responsibility.
- EU membership and religion are unrelated to why it exists.
