Description
Provides an in-depth study of the West German choice to not commemorate the Polish diplomat Jan Karski. Argues that this action reflects a feling of inferiority brought out by Karski's ethical stance, and is properly speaking 'obscene underbelly' of the famed German vergangenheitsbewaltigung (coming to terms with the past).
