"This is a place of a warning. Of reminding and remembering. The corpses of the thousands of victims of the bombings of the 13. and 14. February 1945 were burnt here. Back then, the horrors of war, brought from Germany to the entire world, returned, to our city as well."

Not even a "Germany was a helpless victim of war crimes", as Nazis like to talk those events.
