It is in an emblematic place, Frauenkirche, Germany has paid tribute to the victims of the bombing of Dresden.
The Lutheran church was completely destroyed, like the rest of the city, there is 70 years old by the Allies.
It was rebuilt exactly there about ten years.
It is in this symbolic place as German President held a committed speech on the duty to remember.
"Memory, against which reports the fault only shines on others peoples one another instead of bringing them through peaceful dialogue. Handling and manipulation of memory are phenomena which we experience now ominously, "said Joachim Gauck.
Outside, hundreds of people are given out to demonstrate against the far right. For many years, neo-Nazi movements have exploited this trauma for propaganda purposes.
25,000 people - mostly civilians - were killed between 13 and 15 February 1945 by the shelling of the US and British aviation.
A rain of 650,000 bombs hit the capital of Saxony for 37 hours.
A strategic move by the Allies, a disproportionate killing some historians.
