THE GERMANS AND THEIR PAST : BETWEEN AMBIGUITY, COLLECTIVE AMNESIA AND RESPONSIBILITY
Felix Philipp Lutz
An individual's historical consciousness determines the way in which he or she deals with his or her individual and collective past. Processing this past involves recollection, reflection, acceptance of guilt-laden aspects, and the personal, social, and political implementation of the insights gained in the course of this procedure.
