Argumentative Essay: West Germany

351 Words2 Pages
1. To most Germans it is not a great topic to discuss. Most schools were not told to discuss it until the beginning of 1960 when it became mandatory.

East Germany was told that they should blame West Germany and they should not state anything in regards to the wrongs of the Communists and not to mention the Jews.

2. I feel it is because they don’t fully understand what happened. I think this is typical with any young group, they think here and now instead of the past. Also, if it doesn’t pertain to them exactly there is no reason to discuss
