Shouldnt there be a Jewish history month in Germany?

Germans do care about what they did. Entrance fees to memorials are free, and the memorials are taken care of by the state. Compensations are paid, memorial cobble stones let in in front of houses where jewish people who were taken used to live, there are severaly days in the year where there are special memorials held for the former jewish population. Plagues are installed on houses where Synagogues used to stand, art has been given back (though, since we are at that, there still are some peaces of art that did not belong to jewish people at all that the allies took and have not given back to Germany, yet, so...)
Oh, and by the way: Everytime Germany has a different opinion than the old Allies, it is given the old bashing again, even after 60 years.
And, pardon me for pointing it out, Hitler reigned for twelve years, and yes, his regime killed over 6 million jews, but...
How long did slavery go on again exactly? Remind me, was it one? Or two centuries? Oh, and when did you stop treating blacks unfairly? The 60s, officially, right? Hm...

Johnny: Pardon me! I am so sorry that I forgot that you are always right!

At least the Americans and the Germans learned something from history. Whether from history or not, you don't seem to want to learn anything. You don't even want to see anything. Fascinating, such a stubborn mind. I'm sure you are an overachiever, right? Such self-confidence! It's admirable. *cough*

Last week you outed yourself as a troll, naming all your troll account names as sources when answering as one of them, so so much for troll creation. And as for the matter of a weak point:

You state every week that Germans are still nazis, each and every one of them. From all your "questions", one can detect that you have never been to nowadays Germany. You have no idea what you are talking about, and neither are you interested. You seek to get satisfaction by repeating stereotypes over and over. So I invite you to stick that head of yours back into that little sandwhole it has come from. There's no use in explaining colors if all you want to see is black. Take a lead from Obama: Change we need. Oh, sorry, forgot you can't admit the world - and people, and countries - can change!

In Germany we have no history month for our own history, so why
should we have one for a minority.
The Americans should not only feel bad for the poor slaves. They should pay them for the hard labour they did and for the ones that were killed. In Germany we payed already billions and are still paying
for the Jews.
Do you have a history month for the killed and partly exterminated
Native Americans?

we don't need a history month to remember what we have done, it is around us the whole time, u have it a least 3 times in history class, almost each town has some kind of memorial unto this topic and there are loads of museums spreed among the country.

They try not to dwell on the past, though there are several museums and monuments, so that no one will ever forget.

If we would do that, then the Americans had to name every month after a country or something else they bombed....

What do you know what Germans care about, have you ever been so far away from home or could you understand what they talk? Ask this question in the German Yahoo, but not in English.

The Germans DO care and it was a bad time back then.... But I wonder whether there is a Palestinian history month in Israel!!!??

Let the past be past... I cant hear it any more

There are very few Germans remaining alive today that had any participation in World War 2. Of these, I am sure that most of them do care for what they did. However, there is absolutely no need for the German Government to declare any sort of 'history month' dedicated to the Jewish community. However thanks for taking the time to ask the question. I hope this answer has helped you in one way or another.

Answering you I think the Bernd has a good point here, I am Cherokee Indian and never has any Natives been compensated for the land taken and stuck on reservations unless you were lucky or married into a white family back then. Blacks sometimes had more rights than Natives did then! It is a hard toss up both were treated poorly.

MOST FORGET THOUGH, SLAVES WERE SOLD BY THEIR OWN PEOPLE to other nation through out the world. Not just the US or UK, many nations bought them, the US was one of the last though to ban it sadly, freedom for all but not so if your skin is not pure white... it was major Hypocracy.

I doubt they will have a History Month for Jews if they do not even have one for their own nations History, that is logical to me too.

Of course they care about what happened, I have spoken to many there and with my friends it is OK but I never talk about it with their grandparents for it is still a sore subject for them and I can understand. Germany DID pay billions in reperations and I think have made ammends as a Nation for what one Regime did. You cannot blame all Germany through out history for that one Regime.

Now we have our first Black US President, I am curious as to how long it takes groups like KKK and others to go after him... he made history winning but may make history as the shortest term ever too if he does not beaf up his security so much more than past presidents, I think he will be the most targetet President in US History.

AND to non US people, the US DID make some reperations to Natives and Blacks but not until we were well into the 1960s and 70s that is how long it took!

(Johnny, id report the troll below, its just the same one that is impersonating every one, they are so silly and waste of time. Least we know they have NO LIFE LOL, ATL is also taking care of it too & the ASKER creates Trolls?? All we have seen is YOU making them!)

Tyreeisme!

Jewish people do not need it, most know the basic history

MISS USA angel in waiting
