This is generally true but I'd also caution that it's a pretty big third rail topic -- for lack of better example, akin to asking your German colleagues if they think Holocaust actually happened or not -- the problem being that you're generally not likely to get a straight answer even if they were sympathetic due to fear of reprisal if a non standard answer were to be discovered out by unsympathetic peers.

what the hell? apart from some lunatics, no German person denies the Holocaust and this has nothing to do with "reprisals" and everything with proper education. The memory of the Holocaust and the Nazi era is omnipresent in Germany.

You're proving my point, that's exactly how they would how they see it. Again I'm not trying to imply the Holocaust didn't happen.
