They will go off into groups and have heated discussions among themselves, and then come back to him with their thoughts. ‘Yes, we are Germans, and Germans perpetrated this,’ some students once told him, echoing what others have said. ‘And, though it wasn’t just Germans, it is the older Germans who were here who should feel guilt.
