With all those holocaust memorials in Germany, the country is doing the exact opposite of keeping a low profile. You‘re probably thinking of Belgium, USA, Canada, Russia, Japan or the Ottoman Empire. Like, there are so many countries that committed genocides and trying to sweep it under the rug but that‘s simply not true for Germany. Germany has a guilt culture that some say is also problematic for different reasons.




Nazis have been on trial throughout the decades. The Nuremberg trials in particular were a huge media spectacle and Nazi officials were convicted. Yes, many got away with it and that‘s a huge injustice to the many victims but a lot more has been done prosecuting Nazis than perpetrators of any other genocide in history. Again, low profile is not true here.
