Default Right Wing Resurgence in Germany

https://www.theatlantic.com/internat...vivors/586357/

“Our culture of remembrance is crumbling,” Foreign Minister Heiko Maas wrote in January in the German newspaper Welt am Sonntag. “Right-wing populist provocateurs diminish the Holocaust, knowing that such a breach of taboo will garner maximum attention.”

They also point out that many camp survivors have died or become too infirm to continue speaking tours. Tragically, this comes just as German nationalists are trying to minimize historical events ... either through "scholarship" or inflamatory rhetoric.
