I was so impressed when I visited Germany for the first time.
I’ve lived most of my life in former British colonies that have a terrible history with the original people who lived there (Canada, NZ, Australia). We are nowhere close to honestly looking at what happened, never mind preventing it from happening again.
To go from that to a place where the Holocaust happened but is not a taboo topic, where children and adults were taught exactly how this would be avoided in future, was striking and refreshing.
