- Title
At Issue REPRESENTATIONS OF THE HOLOCAUST IN TODAY'S GERMANY: BETWEEN JUSTIFICATION AND EMPATHY.
- Authors
Urban, Susanne Y.
- Abstract
German narratives on the Holocaust and Worm War II have changed since 1945, propelled by debates about the period, political developments, and distance from the historical event. Native Germans tend to focus increasingly on their own fate as Germans and to idealize their society's behavior during the Holocaust era. Immigrants and immigrant students in Germany have trouble relating to the Holocaust, which often seems to them strictly apart of German history that has no connection to them. The overall situation poses challenges to Holocaust education with which it has yet to cope successfully.
