Whether working or at play…

Is the true “good German” way.

“Yes, I feel the guilt every day. I never get bored of it, to feel the guilt, because it’s necessary to act right.”

This attitude seems odd, even pathological. Why should someone feel a crippling inherited guilt over atrocities that were committed decades before she was born, that she was neither responsible for nor had any influence over?

That, as they say, is the qustion.
