Books like Susan Neiman’s Learning from the Germans: Race and the Memory of Evil ...have praised German society as a model for confronting historical evil.
Neiman’s thesis was straightforward: unlike America (especially the South), Germany had achieved an honest reckoning with its racist past, creating a more just, diverse present.
Recent years have shattered this rosy view. As Germany becomes a country where Jews increasingly cannot live openly and safely, the failure of its remembrance culture has become undeniable...
The failure... manifests most starkly in rising historical ignorance among young Germans. A Jewish Claims Conference survey earlier this year revealed that among respondents aged 18-29,
40% didn’t know that six million Jews were murdered during the Nazi era.
15% believed fewer than two million had been killed.
2% of all surveyed denied the Holocaust occurred at all.
This ignorance didn’t emerge despite Germany’s remembrance culture—it emerged because of it. The abuse of Holocaust commemoration for contemporary political goals has bred cynicism and indifference. When politicians exploit historical memory to score partisan points rather than preserve truth, they teach the public that the past is merely a tool for present manipulation...
If German politicians cannot be trusted to preserve and honor the memory of the Holocaust with integrity—if they insist on weaponizing it for their political agendas—then they should keep silent on such matters. Better no official, state-led commemoration than one that serves only to advance partisan interests while actual antisemitism flourishes unchecked...

Due possibly in some part the Germans historical infatuation with Muslims which goes back to the days of the Ottomans versus the British, and the Germans sided with the Ottomans, probably mostly just to be in opposition to the British.
not really. the germans just want to die like the rest of europe. muslims are just knife.
For the Left in Germany and throughout Europe, Holocaust guilt was and is a potent way to smear the Right and impede them from gaining political power. Over time, as the smear wore thin, it discredited Holocaust guilt and generated hostility and doubt about the facts.
The slogan has been “Never Again”.
Then Oct 7 happened. And a pretty big part of the world seems have decided “Those Jews had it coming.”
Very sad.
"...Neiman’s thesis was straightforward: unlike America (especially the South), Germany had achieved an honest reckoning with its racist past, creating a more just, diverse present..."
Wake me up when the Democrat party, the American Left, and Freepers who sympathize and wholly agree with this point of view (so much that they feel compelled to start a thread on it) wake up and achieve an "honest reckoning with its racist past" by admitting that the Democrat Party is the Party of Racism.
But they won't.
They will cling to this EuroPussy fantasy outlined by the author of this piece of literary excrement. Because they cannot face the truth that they are the racists intent on keeping blacks "in their place" on the Leftist Plantation.
And that isn’t any defense of the Neo-Nazis in Germany that they want to link to conservatism in the United States who “can’t face their past”.
It is their European attempt to paint the Southern United States in that fashion, comparing them to their homegrown German “right wingers”.
and contrary to the usual Leftist dogma, race relations are actually better in the South than they are in the North. There is less segregation and people get along better.
They started electing women with toxic compassion and they let in millions of people who hate Jews. Then they empowered the expansionist elites who decided to start a war on the Eastern Front again.
Germans are wonderful with cars, sausages, beer, some electronics etc. But they should never be allowed near government. They gave the world Prussian bureaucracy, Psychology, Nazism and Communism. They invented the word homosexual which before was called the German Vice.
Never again includes the Israelis. They have moved from legitimate self defense into ethnic cleansing, and genocide is openly pushed by the Israeli Likud people.
The American left IS national socialist. The espouse almost every policy of the nazis.
Germany didn't confront evil, they just buried it and ignored it on the outside. Scratch a German, find a Nazi.
” They have moved from legitimate self defense into ethnic cleansing, and genocide is openly pushed by the Israeli Likud people.”
Spreading hateful Hamas propaganda again.
