Germany's journey to health
Article Abstract:
Older Germans tend to still make excuses about the evils of the Nazi era, claiming that ordinary people were not aware of what was going on. Younger Germans, however, fully acknowledge that terrible crimes were committed under Nazism, and find it hard to believe that ordinary people could have allowed such a situation to develop. Germany has now been transformed into a strong, successful nation, and this may serve as a positive role model to other countries, such as Russia, where there is an urgent need for a responsible democracy.
