At the beginning of 1945, he was deported to Buchenwald, where he was immediately housed in Children\u2019s Block 66. A few days after the liberation of the camps, Harry Miller, an American, took a photo of the emaciated prisoners in the small camp which had been used as a death block. The photo travelled round the world; Naftali F\u00fcrst, who was twelve years old at the time, happened to appear in it. Later he commented: \u00bbAt that moment, I was almost on the other side\u00ab. In 1949, he emigrated to Israel.<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">The conversation with Naftali F\u00fcrst as well as the personal encounter with the Holocaust survivor left a very strong impression on those who participated. In response to a question posed by a pupil about why he decided to write a book about his experiences, Naftali F\u00fcrst replied: \u00bbI have written it for my children and grandchildren in the hope that the younger generation may be able to learn something from it.\u00ab<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">Federal President Joachim Gauck remarked after the discussion: \u00bbIt is an honour to meet people like Naftali F\u00fcrst whose suffering has not turned into hatred. He encourages us all, to recognise injustice and fight against it\u00ab.<\/p>\n<p class=\"bodytext\">Uwe Neum\u00e4rker, Director of the Foundation Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, who facilitated the discussion with the pupils, commented: \u00bbIt is impressive that, after a so many years of silence, Naftali F\u00fcrst has reached out to Germany in order to enable future generations to learn from history\u00ab.<\/p>\n<p>At the end of their visit, the Federal President and Naftali F\u00fcrst signed their names in the visitor book of the Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe.<\/p>\n<p>Other participants in the discussion included scholarship holders from the Student Association Ernst-Ludwig-Ehrlich.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section
