Entrance to the Auschwitz concentration camp
* * * * *
Whoever arranged the security for the Embassy of the Federal
Republic of Germany during yesterday's "Shortcut to
Europe" walking tour of European Union embassies in the
nation's capital, didn't seem to be a history buff.
If only for public relations reasons, the guards on security
detail at the black iron gates of the embassy compound should
have refrained from separating the men from the women. As the
guard demanded everyone line up according to sex, a chill ran
down my spine.
Not funny, Germany. Your embassy needs a PR advisor -- badly!
