Do Germans Talk About World War II?

Today I wanted to speak about whether or not Germans talk about World War II and my experience with this topic while studying abroad. I share a bit about the openness of most Germans that was both unexpected and surprising, as well as how the content was presented in my high school or Gymnasium. My host family also took me to the Nazi Party Rally Grounds Documentation Center in Nuremberg which influenced my perspective on the war and modern-day Germany greatly. I say this in the video, but all of these experiences were very personal, so not everyone may feel the same way. Either way, I hope that this video gives you a bit more insight into how WWII and the Holocaust shape modern-day Germany and how they are publicly addressed.

Who am I?
My name is Montana Showalter, and I was a participant of the Congress Bundestag Youth Exchange program in 2019-2020. I started my Youtube channel while living in Germany and continue to make videos on German vs American culture. I love finding aspects of German culture in the US as well as producing videos in German as practice!
