2:32 pm
we start to show in germany a country that thought he had learned how to come to terms with its past. but his now realizing that it's an ongoing process with me in november 1938 anti semitism, took a violent turn throughout germany, nazi's burned down synagogues, london, jewish homes and stores and murdered many in the ensuing holocaust. the showa, in hebrew, millions of jews were killed. remembering these victims and acknowledging the country's historical guilt for the crimes committed under national socialism is a fact of life in germany. the nation has faced up to this dark chapter in its history. it's been a rocky journey fraught with hurdles, but the holocaust is central to the country's culture of remembrance
2:33 pm
versus got on finances. so i like the fact that it's clear that we keep the post alive and when, when you look to all the countries, you soon realize a culture of remembrance of upholstery genes crimes can't be taken for granted. i ought to say this duty helps us learn how important it is to also keep others memories. a life couldn't vietnam visit the document on the look for other men. about 22000000 people in germany have a migrant background. meaning one him for like he doesn't identify with the countries historical, built for nazi crimes. and that changes how people look back on history. now the spotlight is shifting to another murky chapter. europe's long ignored crimes during the colonial era. germany is struggling to confront its responsibility of a button on the up impulse to afford lying on when it comes to sweeping colonial crimes under the carpet. all the former colonial powers have same attitude and germany is
2:34 pm
no exception. i, english and any higher tone, namely kind of like annex they won't admit anything until there's no way around it . and they string along the victims for as long as possible, cause along a hint, beast mcgee. but wait. ready onto the germans praised for how admirably they deal with their dark past. ready ready and no other country in the world has faced its pass. so encouragingly declared jewish philosopher, susan nyman in 2020. does that only apply to the holocaust? did the nazis crimes top all other crimes against humanity? it's a controversial question. why does guilt for nazi crimes play such a key role for germans? how do they face the historical truth and how i've a now trying to been shut down new paths. venosity fog when it comes to the us gen. how can we get young people with a migrant background interested in the shower?
2:35 pm
it's 1st important to change our choice of words. home phone is that some say they're not interested because it's not their history. but that for the fundamental misunderstanding to view the show of german history or instead of human kinds history, that's what the question always implies is that it doesn't interest them. but that's not true. the stupid sap and nor cima wants to promote understanding for a mr. boost awareness by asking simple questions as to what does the holocaust have to do with me and why are we talking about in the home didn't do that. we were in his rule as museum director. i knew livi tackles anti semitic stereotypes and jewish self images. good, but it isn't with all these topics, it's always about the past and the present. the question is always, what do people want to see? what do they want to have confirmed? how far are they willing to sure onto another path?
2:36 pm
ah, shanetta leaderman has written a book whose title translates as understanding the pain of others. it explores how we deal with historical crimes as showered off all i look at the ideas we have about victims. how can we establish empathy with victims and their descendant farms? yet and why are empathy often so unequally distributed? ah. the demon visited the site of human rights violations and not just in europe, she meant victims of atrocities and their descendants. and she views the holocaust in the context of what she referred to as a global universal memory. probably the thorny asked question. she asks concerns
2:37 pm
empathy, which victims and historical crimes evoke empathy, enough of a hapless infants for me say about i've noticed myself that i tend to feel more empathy for victims of national socialism than for colonial victims. had to put us not to not, i don't like that reaction, but that's just the way it is. how they can assure infant about us. it's a result of various influences of pike, women who tune shall lot of eat a man was born in germany. 9 years after national socialism ended, her father was a member of the party. he kept silent about his nazi past. like most people as an if was i'm to discuss sean, i think at some point it's too late to have the talk. families should have about the topic and but what's new to day i think is that today's racism, anti semitism and fall right. crimes are making young people ask new questions.
2:38 pm
like, what are you doing parking lot to help victims? or what are you doing to help bring home a treatise to jumpstart, was likely upon more people are asking what can be done. but of course, against the backdrop of what happened here in the past. i wanna truly put a forwarded lesson buffy. i'm a positive and these are stellar stunt for ya. i know you now goga, inebriation crossed i enough from often from like november. no, it's known that often die fish will that ask avoided for nuts, united with allison and bon mistake. there's been a memorial in the lavette, so shall say in berlin since $960.00 but a monument wasn't built until 50 years after the bloody. poke romans targeting jews . it's a reminder of how the nazis used the synagogue as a site to round up juice for deputation. from here, they were loaded into trucks or forced to walk to the freight train station. sometimes at night and sometimes in broad daylight with every one watching the

2:44 pm
history lessons. why is so little attention paid to the victims of genocide such as in former german south west africa all the crimes of colonialism, overshadowed by holocaust remembrance. it's a sensitive question. and the polarizing one and it's for me to make those one really important lesson from the showa. it's that you must never saw people's fates into hierarchies. germany's culture of remembrance was years in the making. decades of research and discourse have lizzie entered it in mainstream society, keeping the memory of the holocaust alive, remain as a challenge. not just in germany. good. ah, in israel remembrance is also being reconsidered now that the last holocaust

2:47 pm
soon the eye witnesses will no longer be able to speak to us directly. there are fewer and fewer. michael, that has major implications because that means that a very natural connection to the subject, namely through one's grandma grandpa is disappearing. vic fit oh, the whole of names, and yet for him, a police of remembrance for the 6000000 jews who were systematically murdered in the name of. now the id ology, the museum's goal is to use documents, personal possessions and survivors. testimonies to convey to future generations. what happened the international school for holocaust studies is also a part of yard for him. an educational institution for teaching the history of the sure continental changes and the culture of remembrance are underway here as well. again, this is a nice little ferguson, i've seen the thing we have to understand that is really, society is very,

very mixed. may say that it is a very heterogeneous society, if you will, in israel, about half of the jews in israel are of european ancestry. can ash canarsie jews, others have their roots in iraq, north africa, and yemen. and for them there may be a cultural bond or a national bond through israel, but not necessarily a biographical one. these are you shipping all of a niche omitting of your graph issue? it is the 3rd and 4th generations in particular that are being impacted by these changes. here at the school, estella who trains young students studying to be teachers. 6 years ago, estelle decided to make a lawyer and emigrate from germany to israel. as at some an and family and so on the one hand we are getting further and further away from the events of the holocaust ellis as well. and of course, and israel, we already geographically distant from the places where the holocaust took place and had the places where the family histories existed before the persecution of the
2:49 pm
holocaust alcohol. mm hm. from on the other hand, the family connections are just not as strong as they were for the 2nd generation. weatherford, it's fight again. that's who on the future of commemoration is also a concern at zacharon bas alone, 10 years ago when it was 1st initiated by a younger generation, it was still small. but to day it is almost gruen into an institution itself. and being given a place among official commemorations now to johannesburg, south africa, where studying european history is helping young people come to terms with their own country's experience of violence and oppression. the south african metropolis of johannesburg. at the heart of the sprawling city scape is the holocaust and genocide center. it's founder and executive director is tarley knights, who was born in israel in 1961. the historian has lived in south africa finale for decades. she's dedicated her life to this project. it was never

2:51 pm
journeys of the holocaust beyond julie's of general fine journeys of oppression and suffering. journeys of modernity that brings progress, but all sole pain. since the 19th century, south africa has been home to the largest jewish community in all of africa. but this place of remembrance is not just for them. it's also for the post to parties, nation as a and young people, especially. so why do you choose them to tell? are the histories because in a country that suffered from a very painful past, and he still struggling with that past off colonialism off racism off apartheid. it's very difficult for us to actually speak both ourselves. everything in our minds is translated through our own history. it is easier in a way to have another entry point. roughly 30 years after the end of apartheid, the chasm between rich and poor is still very evident. reconciling the divide some
2:52 pm
mammoth task for south africa's democracy. the rules with children, the racial and the honoring policies that were created by the nazis have resemblance to a bought of dave laws in south africa. and i'll be very honest with you or south africa still struggling with racism and inequality. in fact, south africa is now most unequal country in the world, which so a lot of that is between the different races. so there's a reality, we can't deny that. and so when kids come through this center, it's an opportunity to speak about that. and to address that, since the wave of violence against african migrants in 2000 and night conflicts continue to flare up xenophobia and racism. a themes that the center aims to tackle together with students. and teachers like mumsy melinda from red hill high school.
