i went to germany for a week on a school trip but we never went to any nazi camps, went to an old roman amphitheater but no nazi camps,
i cant say i know anyone thats been to a germany nazi camp on a school trip
sorry
the germans and other european students visit the concentration camp
see e.g http://www.kz-gedenkstaette-dachau.de/g ... roups.html Dachau is near Munich.
it depends on the teacher to organise it.
Maybe your teacher decides otherwise or simplethe next concentration camp was too fa away.
The German student study attentive the nazi period.

Germany (or the german government) takes seriously to remember the War II and the Holocaust

and are a lot more examples.

To learn the history is very important and I mean, what happens with the refugee in Germany the last year depends on the fact that the german people is aware of their past. Otherwise the present nazi group would find more acceptance through the German people.

PS I´m not German.

Students from all over the world go to the concentration camps and in Germany it is pretty much a standard school trip. The "don't mention the war bit is Fawlty Towers, not reality.

Yes, but since when? I think it wasn't spoken about much at school or in the media until the late 80's or early 90's?

If you have been 16 years old the beer was your interest during the trip

60's at least; I checked with relatives who went to school then.

Cheers. It's just that German kids in the early 80's I met while traveling led me to be believe it wasn't discussed much.

Have you ever heard of a book by Gisela Elsner called "The Giant Dwarves"? It's about Germany after the war. A kind of Kafkaesque vision of deprivation and a view on a particularly German breed of insanity. A great read.

I haven't what will it track down; thanks juansweetpotatoe.

I think it was discussed plenty but I remember Germans coming to Kenya (where I lived) and they were reluctant to discuss their nationality with non-Germans in particular. You certainly did not see them waving flags or anything. This only changed after the (bought) World Cup:-)
