U.S. Vice
President Mike Pence is touring the site of a former Nazi concentration camp.
Pence is
paying a somber visit to the Dachau camp near Munich that was established by
the Nazis in 1933. The vice president has been joined by a survivor of the camp
and other officials.
More than
200,000 people from across Europe were held at Dachau, and more than 40,000
prisoners died there. The camp was liberated by U.S. forces in April 1945.
Pence spoke
at the Munich Security Conference of foreign diplomats and defense officials on
Saturday and was traveling to Brussels later Sunday for meetings with NATO and
European Union officials.
In 2015,
then U.S. Vice President Joe Biden visited the site with his granddaughter
during a trip to Germany. (VOANews)
