Not-So-Fun-Fact! As late as the 1950s, a near-majority of Germans still believed that Hitler should have been regarded as a good leader, had he not lost WW2.
It wasn’t until the mid-late 1960s, when the next generation, learning about Germany’s recent past, looked at their parents and asked in horror, “How could you have supported such atrocities?!” that Germany’s modern cultural sense of anti-Nazism was planted.
Sadly anti-nazism slowly fade and afd on rise.
It’s a lesson that has to be relearned by each generation, unfortunately. Would that it could be one-and-done.
The division of Germany at the time that generational trauma was being worked out doesn’t help.
Yes, but have you considered how rotten it would make them feel to admit they were the baddies? Much easier to just jerk each other off about how it’s everyone else’s fault, somehow.
When were the school reforms introduced?

The Internet didn’t exist back then. They knew about the camps and other stuff

The German public at large knew damn well that the plan was to exterminate the Jews and other ‘untermensch’, they simply didn’t know with what ‘vigor’ it was being pursued.
i call bullshit.
neighbors disappeared, the rethoric was everywhere, it wasn’t a fucking secret.
even today, when a nation commits a genocide and it’s live streamed constantly, they still deny it.
And now the people have forgotten. Doomed to repeat their mistakes for all eternity. Well, or until the climate catastrophe wipes us all out. So not that long actually.
