The Holocaust has weighed heavily on Germany
and the German population. Taught widely across almost all years in school,
there is a clear sense that Germany today must take responsibility for its past
and act accordingly to redeem itself. Nevertheless, while the German government
and many of my fellow German citizens believe that this implies unquestioning
support for the state of Israel, I will argue in this post that the main focus
has to be on opposing Genocide wherever it occurs.
