    As a German, I feel like we’re one of the few nations who actually constantly teach our young generations of the atrocities our nation has committed, like, it’s 70% of our history classes. We constantly get reminded of what Nazi Germany did. I don’t think any country or culture does that to this extent.

    And I feel like some people use the opportunity to just point to us while sweeping their own nation‘s history under the rug.

    Yes, what Hitler did was a genocide of an unprecedented scale. But Germany isn’t the only country with a „dark past“. Germany isn’t an outlier. Yet Hitler is one of the first things people associate with Germany.
