When Germany surrendered in 1945, Hitler and his henchmen had turned Europe into a huge graveyard: 55 million casualties, including 6 million Jews who perished in the death camps. How did Germany come to terms with this gruesome past? How does it deal with its history nowadays? What do ordinary people feel about the Nazis? And what’s the “official version“?
This tour will show you how the so-called “Vergangenheitsbewaltigung“ (“dealing with the past“) expresses itself in monuments, museums and other sites of remembrance. It also includes the Holocaust Memorial and the “Topography of Terror“ where the SS and the Gestapo had their headquarters.
