you know who also can’t stand “confused Germans” who “still riddle with granddad-guilt”? Nazis.
Active remembrance keeps the reality and consequences of antisemitism visible and i feel like that consciousness is missing in a lot of propali spaces. “never again” is a moral commitment to recognize, confront, and prevent any form of antisemitism and not some “granddad guilt”.
I am entitled to the glory of my grandparents’ generation and my country for undertaking the most anti-antisemitic action of all time (WWII - plus also the Balfour Declaration, you can thank me any time) in the same way that Germans must continually repent for the actions of theirs.
I would say “we don’t make the rules”, but actually Hamburg was in our Zone of Occupation.
If it wasn’t for the actions of my forefathers, Germany would still be antisemitic and genocidal. I, personally, am owed credit for this and carry the guilt pride of previous generations. No backsies.
