I don't think Nazi hatred of Jews and Slavs is a problem in Germany, except a little in the former DDR.

It seemed to me that in the DDR, they taught their people that the Nazis were only bad, because they were anti-Communist, and anti-Working class, etc. and not so much because of their racial policies. That probably explains the difference between how the Ossies and the Wessies view the Nazis.

You may have a point. The FRG made a significant effort to de-Nazify. It was an article of faith that the Nazis were evil and harmed Germany as well as their ethnic cleansing/genocide of Jews, Political Prisoners, Slavs, Gypsies and others. Also, in the DDR there was no freedom of expression, as in the West. When people acted out any neo-Nazism, the population in the West cringed and its people were ostracized. The communists just suppressed any dissent of any kind, and did not educated the people about the Nazi past.
