Vance toured the Dachau concentration camp memorial in Germany on Thursday afternoon. Vance, accompanied by his wife, Usha, toured with a group that included Abba Naor, a 97-year-old Holocaust survivor, and Karl Freller, the director of the Bavaria Memorial Foundation. “I’ve read a lot about the Holocaust in books, but being here and seeing it up close in person really drives home what unspeakable evil … was committed, and why we should be committed to ensuring that it never happens again,” Vance told the group in brief remarks. “It’s a somber moment, it’s a sad moment, but it’s something that I’ll never forget, and I’m grateful to have been able to see it up close in person,” he said. Naor showed Vance a card with prisoner information and said, “I’m still here.” You May Have MissedFRIENDS IN UNEXPECTED PLACESThe Jewish music teacher representing a Muslim-majority country at EurovisionAsaf Mishiev is the frontman of Mamagama, Azerbaijan’s entry to the annual song contest.
