Descrizione
There is evidence that a process of 'normalization' is occurring in Germany - a welcome development if it leads to a reconsideration of the relationship between Germans and Jews. Michael Wolffson's analysis of German-Jewish-Israeli relations suggests that 'normalization' does not have to mean forgetting, repressing or overcoming the past. He suggests a differentiated approach to the memory of the Shoah as well as a critical assessment of over 40 years of German politics
