German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder has called for vigilance to counter anti-Semitism as the world remembers the Nazi crimes committed at Auschwitz.

"The overwhelming majority of Germans living today do not bear guilt for the Holocaust. But they do bear a special responsibility," he said.

Germans have a duty "to be vigilant, not to look away," he told a gathering in Berlin, among them camp survivors.

Thursday is the 60th anniversary of the Auschwitz death camp liberation.
