i think that germany, west germany, in particular, was often held up, reunified germany was held up in a success story in terms of an effort to deal honestly and factually and conscioco consciencely. that this is something that contemporary germans need to wrestle with. when i think recent conversations have begun to really wrestle with is the ways in which the successful civic education was also detached from personal experience. so, there was a book a number of years ago that came out called "grandpa wasn't a nazi." this idea that, yes, you know, nazis, it was horrible, the crimes, nobody is doubting that. my grandfather, he was just an ordinary soldier. so he had nothing to do with -- nazis were really bad. it's a good thing that we weren't one of them kind of thing. and i think that that would be the challenge here, is the ways in which we can recognize whether as -- kind of personal family but also institutionally we have many more connections with these dangerous pasts. and so i think one good example is the question of universities. georgetown or princeton or harvard or yale, wh

particularly in the south and the various and that's been particularly hard hit as well in the west western germany as well and so there is a certain sense of confusion there today as to what is a political show different states and what has been decided at federal level if you just take the city state of berlin right here for example of those shops that i mentioned up to 800 meter right whereas a square are actually allowed to reopen today and so that's because a lot of confusion among some shop owners and also people who were looking forward perhaps to getting out and about again today ok very quickly germany has done better than other european countries in managing the pandemic why is that well there's been several factors of course there was a lot of testing carried out here in germany something that's being invaded in other countries as well but on top of that germany also had a lot of luck as well and luckily a lot of the 1st cases here in germany were actually among younger people which of course is a very different story from what we saw in italy for example where it was the older generatio
