Description
Discusses the failure of the Germans to fully acknowledge and deal with their past. As a result of the Cold War, German Nazis quickly regained their bureaucratic posts. Subsequent trials in Germany failed to bring the major perpetrators who issued the orders to justice but focused instead on those low in the Nazi hierarchy. Concludes by discussing the opposition to a proposed Youth Centre in Dachau against this background.
