Abstract:
Results of a study (conducted between 1988-91) of attitudes of the third generation in Germany (mainly the FRG, with a few interviews from the former GDR) and in Israel regarding the relevance of the Holocaust to their present views. In each country, more than 1,100 young people were given questionnaires, were interviewed, and participated in group intervention. The questionnaires showed that the German respondents tended to undermine the relevance of the Holocaust to their current political and social perspective, while in Israel they tended to overestimate this relevance, both groups doing so in a simplified way. The goal of the interviews and group meetings was to identify and enhance a more refined approach of "partial relevance, " associating the past with the present in more differentiated ways.
