Jewish council awards German president
German President Christian Wulff on Wednesday condemned the murders of several small business owners with Turkish and Greek backgrounds as he accepted the highest award from Germany's principle Jewish organization.
The award honors Wulff's relationship with Israel and the Jewish community in Germany. This January he visited the former Nazi death camp at Auschwitz to commemorate the 66th anniversary of its liberation, and one year ago he visited Israel just months after taking office, Deutsche Welle reports.
