This chapter explores the memory culture in Germany, focusing on the memory of the Nazi regime and the Holocaust. It discusses the formation of memory culture, demographic shifts around Jewish existence, debates on building memorials, and the role of memory culture in Germany's politics and identity.
Featuring Emily Dische-Becker on how Germany became attached to a wildly narcissistic anti-antisemitism and Israeli proxy nationalism that have made it one of the most anti-Palestinian governments on earth.
