Mad in Germany

Whitewashing history: Israel & Germany w/ Daniel Marwecki

Nov 12, 2024
Daniel Marwecki, a political scientist and author specialized in German-Israeli relations, discusses the complex and often troubling historical ties between Germany and Israel. He reveals the disturbing antisemitism among postwar German officials who prioritized whitewashing Germany's image over genuine support for Jews. Marwecki challenges the predominant narratives surrounding Germany’s aid during Israel’s formation, linking national identity and geopolitical interests, while scrutinizing the legacy of historical accountability and its implications for today.
