we have to mean it was when it's to the problem with today's culture of remembrance is that we embrace jews to the point that they can't breathe. germany is once again debating how it deals with its nazi past. and the issues of guilt, remembrance, and responsibility. should there be more focus on other dark chapters in history? is the culture of remembrance, changing. and if so, how we had to south africa wearing museum is exploring parallels between european and african history. we also go to israel, where the younger generation, as rethinking the way the holocaust is remembered. but we saw the show in germany,
6:32 pm
a country that thought it 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 shower, in hebrew, millions of jews were killed. remembering these victims and acknowledging the countries 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

6:34 pm
and germany is no exception. i english and any high tone, namely kind of like annette, 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 hindu smockey bud. ready ways. ready and the germans praised for how admirably they deal with their dark past with. ready ready no other country in the world has faced its past, so encouragingly declared jewish philosopher susan nyman in 2020 does not only apply to the holocaust to 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 are they now trying to been shut down new paths? venosity fog, when it comes to the question, how can we get young people with a migrant background interested in the shower?
6:35 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, dan thought the question always implies that it doesn't interest them, but that's not true. the stupid sap on 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? they didn't do that. we were in his rule as museum director, i knew livi tackles anti semitic stereotypes and jewish self images. goodbye edison's 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 v?

6:37 pm
enough of it helped us in fights 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 nozzle. 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. if you pick, when one to 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 dispose 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. like,

6:44 pm
committed in the colonial era all still badly addressed in 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 from the polarizing one. and it's for me to name. there is one really important lesson from the showa. it's that you must never so people 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. is a challenge not just in germany. mm hm. ah, in israel remembrance is also being reconsidered now that the last holocaust

6:47 pm
soon the eye witnesses will no longer be able to speak to us directly. there are fewer and fewer legal 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 ah, 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. as with a nice little ferguson, i've seen the thing we have to understand that is really, society is very,
6:48 pm
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 aliya and emigrate from germany to israel. as it's from 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, an 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
6:49 pm
holocaust stack of one ham. some. on the other hand, the family connections are just not as strong as they were for the 2nd generation. and with 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 today it has 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 cityscape 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
6:50 pm

6:51 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 part of the 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 about 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
6:52 pm
mammoth task for south africa's democracy. 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, all 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 at the center aims to tackle together with students and teachers like mumsy melinda from red hill high school.
6:53 pm
my parents did tell me about a part in what they went through. and you still see some of those things. you know, when i teach my kids about my students about a potted, i make them look around the immediate environment and say to them, what do you see? that is the legacy of a potted, in other wits way? is the evidence of those things. so it's very, very important that they make those connections and also to see that history is not just in the history books. it is very much part of her history. that's not just in books, like these pieces of clothing, for example. they belong to people from the truancy minority in rwanda, brutally murdered in 1994, the violence was stoked by racist propaganda on the radio, a genocide in the heart of africa. since then it's been crystal clear to tarley knights. it's essential to fight against hatred, indifference, and silence. rwanda was always the it head to be the
6:54 pm
this outburst, the violence, deadly deadly violence is really important to speak about how quickly things can happen. how quickly, almost a 1000000 people can be killed. you do not need to build an osh with you can just kill with your hands with machetes with grenades with knife. and i think for i, since i forget who wonder more than other cases of jail site is the most important case to the center works with volunteers like irina class. born in 1931, she experienced nazi brutality as a child in poland. here and now she tells her story. ah, from 9 years onwards i lived was my mother, my uncle and my grand mother. the one small room in the warsaw ghetto.
