BERLIN, GERMANY - SEPTEMBER 06: Israeli President Isaac Herzog (L) and German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier visit the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, also called the Holocaust Memorial, following Herzog's speech at the Bundestag during a state visit to Germany on September 06, 2022 in Berlin, Germany. The two countries will soon mark the 70th anniversary of the Reparations Agreement Between Israel and West Germany of 1952, also called the Luxembourg Agreement, in which West Germany agreed to a schedule of reparations payments to Israel to further reconciliation between the two countries following the Holocaust.
