Antisemitism History 1945-
Kurzfassung:
The postwar period was one of gradual reconciliation between Germans and Jews in West Germany. Despite the prophecies that "the epoch of Jews in Germany is over once and for all, " Jewish communities reappeared and are existing. The West German state was ready to overcome the Nazi past, and the decision on the reparation payments was a demonstration of this. However, antisemitism has existed in postwar Germany; it was rather strong in the late 1940s-50s, and subsided in the 1960s. It is rooted, inter alia, in the reluctance of many Germans to remember the Holocaust, in the feeling of suppressed, undigested guilt towards the Jews.
