Stabbing at Berlin Holocaust Memorial Amid Election Tensions

A man was seriously injured in a stabbing attack at Berlin's Holocaust memorial near the US Embassy on February 21, 2025. The incident occurred around 6 p.m., and the attacker, whose identity and motive remain unknown, is still at large. The victim was transported to the hospital for emergency treatment, but his life is not in danger. The site has been cordoned off, and police are conducting an investigation while attending to witnesses who are in shock. This attack comes just days before a significant national election in Germany, where a far-right party is expected to gain substantial support. The memorial, a significant site in Germany's historical atonement, commemorates the 6 million Jews murdered during the Holocaust.
