Study examines Germans' relationship with Nazi past
Fewer than half of Germans worry that the crimes of the Holocaust could be repeated. A recent study reveals the importance of historical sites of tragedy and atrocity to Germans' collective memory of the Nazi era.

The persecuted, the perpetrators and their accomplices alike — the number of people who survived Germany's 1933-45 Nazi era is dwindling; soon that entire generation will be gone. Historians, politicians and educators have long sought a way to ensure that Germany's past will not be forgotten once the people who witnessed it are no longer alive. The matter has become more urgent as racism and anti-Semitism have noticeably increased in recent years in Germany and neighboring countries. With this in mind, the Bielefeld Institute for Interdisciplinary Research on Conflict and Violence (IKG) presented its "MEMO Germany: Multidimensional Memory Monitor" study on Tuesday in Berlin.
