Postwar society and National Socialism: remembrance amnesia, rejection

Examines the denazification process carried out by the victors in Germany after the war. Concludes that the process was faulty as the Germans had to be commanded and supervised by the victors. The procedure tended to promote the latent rejection of the past and those affected experienced reactions of self-pity and defiance rather than remorse or insight. It is also failed to eradicate anti-semitism.
