Dinner and a stroll in Magdeburg

The reality is, I have relatives and friends who continuously told me Germany is a reformed nation. I have many people telling me this after their vacation trips to many parts of Germany.
We also had a local Australian organiser of the Annual March Of The Living (a trip to Poland and Germany) which takes mostly Jewish people from mainly Western Countries like the U.S, England, Australia, South Africa and others to visit the sights of the World War II Nazi Concentration and extermination camps.
A poignant message to younger generations to remember the Nazi Holocaust.
The problem is that this person made plenty of excuses for the modern day Germans, Poles and others who assisted their forebears in the destruction of a whole nation of people. I distinctly remember her bloviating over modern day Germany and others who have largely repented for their indiscretions against the Jews and many other groups during those dark days of the war.
Somehow I never believed very much she said. I know what my mother and my aunt had told me about only a fraction of the experiences they lived through in camps like Majdanek and Auschwitz in Poland for nearly four years of their frighteningly young lives.
The tour operator official and her sugar coating of modern Europe had zero impact on me. Our experiences in Magdeburg simply taught us we were right all along.
The tourists are taken to and fed with the latest holistic impressions of a Europe that has repented and turned over a new leaf.
That is undoubtedly true of many of the newer generations of Europeans but the stigma remains as does a hard core inner circle of the same type of maniacal Nazi supporters who still long for the resurrection of their beloved Third Reich.
