Erinnerungsarbeit

Examines the difficulties Germans encounter in coming to terms with their past. Ch. 6 (pp. 97-111), "Israelis und Deutsche: Eine Generation nach dem Völkermord", focuses on the aftermath of the Holocaust. Quotes East German writer Franz Fühmann, who described how Nazi education led to violent antisemitism and to a view of inhuman behavior as heroic. Analyzes the anti-Zionist atmosphere engendered by left-wing parties after 1967. States that philosemitism is as undesirable as antisemitism; Jews must be considered on equal terms. Notes that some former Nazis consider themselves to have suffered even more than their victims.
