Achtzig Jahre nach dem Ende der Schreckensherrschaft der Nazis ist das Erinnern politisch unter Druck geraten. Ein Besuch bei Historikern, die gegen das Vergessen anarbeiten.
The text discusses the impact of the AfD party on Germany's memory culture regarding the Nazi era. The AfD challenges the established remembrance of the Nazi period and the Holocaust, with concerns that they aim to erase the suffering of victims, particularly those in concentration camps like Buchenwald. The party's influence extends to funding for memorial sites, which could be reduced if state budgets decrease, affecting their operations. This shift reflects a broader societal change in how the Nazi era is remembered, emphasizing not only perpetrators but also the complicity of the general population. The text contrasts this with the remembrance of resistance movements like the White Rose and the July 20 plot, highlighting a tension between historical memory and contemporary political challenges.
