I spent almost a year in Germany and one thing I learned, and really appreciated, was that they were open and honest about the Holocaust and their role in it. It’s taught in schools. It’s never brushed over.

Compared to say Japan.

EDIT: not sure why the downvotes. Japan's whitewashing of war atrocities (eg Nanjing [1][2]). Is this Japanophilia? Or just that I'm not denouncing the current German education system?
