Feli from Germany: Do Germans Talk About World War II? What Do They Teach About the Holocaust?

3. Thanks for the OP quite revealing. Nazism thrives on ignorance, she says they teach ethics now.

We could sure use some of that.

Her breakdown of the post war aftermath is a bit light. She shows how the perps were caught, and de-Nazification begun, and everyone went home to a happy rebuild. Not so much. She didn't mention Rat Lines, South America where many Nazis set up shop before, during, and after the war. Many emigrated to the US, USA & USSR were in a race to grab their technology and scientific talent, much of which wound up at NASA.

Also there was the Cold War. Many books make mention of how the USA & USSR used, enlisted, drafted, forgave former Nazis because they were the only intelligence service on the ground that knew the area, people, operatives, state apparatuses, so they became our new Allies in the Cold War Spy Game throughout eastern Europe. She has a lot to learn, and why she thinks the US will listen I don't know. But she talks real fast with enthusiasm!
