RE: Holocaust lesson in Germany - What do we teach our kids at school?
Hi @felix.herrmann , thank you for your comment.
That is very true. That's why I want to take a closer look at what is happening in our educational system. The teachers are seriously struggling to get the topic across and the parents are not feeling responsible for informing their children. Not about the general historic events and also not about their own family's history. It is a very complex topic. I started filming 4 years ago. The political situation was immensely different at that time. And the kid's sensitivities and curiosities shifted together with the political climate.
Which experience did you make, Felix?

Do you think it is a good idea to teach kids about a System of force and violence (concentration camp) when they are in School BECAUSE they are FORCED to go?
Well @felix.herrmann, although we don't overtly try to draw a parallel between the school and the camp, we are making some cheeky transition between one and the other in the edit. One teacher in the film is himself getting this point across. He says that teachers are making a ranking of the 'most shocking concentration camps' to establish where to take the kids and 'maximise the emotional impact' on them. He says this is a 'nazi' way of thinking.
Struggling to get the topic across?
They teach that shit in every fucking class. Merkel throwing our German flag away and being proud to be German = Nazi.
Germany is completely brainwashed.
Hey @valorforfreedom yes I don't think it's healthy for Germans to feel ashamed and guilty all the way - for example during the World Cup 2014 I remember that waving the German flags became such a big deal! Last time Germans felt that way - after the Versailles treaties - it did not end up well.
