Eh American here, German forever repentance is hilariously unnecessary and comical, and it gives a lot of people waaay more skepticism about Germans for a population to first flip to being so destructive to its own citizens and then be the most accommodating ever until its a political crisis. Like be for real. Everybody’s laughing.

I dont know everything but I resonate way more with Austria for this reason, it feels like that same level of re-education is kind of absent there and it feels more genuine.

A probably healthy way to look at the issue would be "terrible things happened throughout history, but how does that matter to me right now?"

It seems to me like most people here either fall into the camp "We must remember the terrible things that happened and do everything to make sure it never happens again!" or in the "I am sick of Nazis here Nazis there, I don't care about Nazis!!!!"

I don't feel like any of these extremes are healthy. I also don't believe the daily Hitler documentaries on TV provide much valuable information beyond sensationalism and keeping the narrative alive.
