I think that antisemitism is still fairly widespread in Germany same as anti-muslim sentiment. This hatred is all fairly accepted at the average German „Stammtisch“ neatly packed into jokes or “Das wir man ja wohl noch sagen dürfen.” whataboutism and also passed on to the younger generations.

Memorial sites are, as I see it, a very important reminder for students. Especially looking at developments like the increase in votes for the AfD.

The students might feel like they are forced to visit these sites, which is not optimal, but I think seeing these sites is definitely necessary. I agree that visiting holocaust memorial sites, especially former KZs is very unpleasant. It also doesn’t do much for cultural exchange. But it is definitely something all Germans should at some point realise is an important reminder.

I think it would greatly help to have more exchange between the living to work out ways to make sure we learn from the past, and get to work on a better future together. :blobcat_meltheart:
