RE: Holocaust lesson in Germany - What do we teach our kids at school?
The guilt felt by Germans will never end until they are taught to properly investigate the events that took place between 1939 and 1945 and particularly what led to these events. To even discuss this subject unless you agree with the central tenets of 'The Holocaust' is taboo and that is the problem. The Germans were humiliated after WW1 and the same happened after WW2. Only the very bravest Germans speak out and they pay the price such as Ursula Haverbeck
Well @jimbobbill I think that Ursula Haverbeck is a negationist, which is pure madness, but I agree with you, on a general basis, that we should be able now to put things more into prospective and study more the dynamics that lead to the Holocaust, instead of focusing merely on the Holocaust itself.
Why do you think it is pure madness for Ursula to question the holocaust narrative? It's only seen as madness thanks to a 70 year propaganda campaign that has led to the situation where people like Ursula can be imprisoned for her views. Once you start looking into the dynamics that led to the events it naturally leads to questions about the events themselves. The dismissal of those asking questions as 'deniers' or 'anti-semites' or labelling their views as pure madness is the problem in my opinion and until more people actually start looking into the events for themselves rather than dismissing anything and everything that disagrees in any way with the accepted narrative we are doomed.
