You cannot stoke the fires of prejudice against German people and then not find that somewhere, sometime down the road it doesn't discharge.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Consideration of any kind are a crime against the German people and the soldier at the front.
It is nonsense to say that Germans are unable to change.
I know what Germans are. They are a funny people. They are always choosing someone to lead them in a direction which they do not want to go.
The trouble with Germans is not that they fire shells, but that they engrave them with quotations from Kant.
My family is from Russia and Poland. We never had that thing with the German Jews.
No person with a sense of the dignity of mankind can condone the persecution of the Jewish race in Germany.
We Germans have a special responsibility to be alert, sensitive, and aware of what we did during the Nazi era and about lasting damage caused in other countries. I've got tremendous sympathy for that.
When, at the end of the 1960s, I became interested in the Nazi era, it was a taboo subject in Germany. No one spoke about it anymore, no more in my house than anywhere else.
I did that all the more, if I may say so, because I was aware of the fact that there is an inclination to go to extremes in German people, and in the German character generally.
Man, it seemed, had been created to jab the life out of Germans.
