GERMANYS HISTORYA dark capital in Germanies history are two
world wars during the 20th century.
In the second world war Adolf Hitler and his
government put their mark on Germany
heavily.
After this war Germany - especially Berlin -
was divided into two parts by a wall for
more than 28 years.
Germany will never completely overcome
the concequences of its history. It is a part
of our identity, and by working on
compensation (as far as it is possible) and
reminding Germany developes a new self
esteem, including this part of history and
learning from it.

The Jewish memorial

For this shame, after thesecond world war Germans did not dare toshow pride of theircountry. Just in the last years, especeally duringthe football worldchampionship whichtook place in Germany, many people developeda new and healthyrelationship towards theflag. In coherence offootball the German flagdoes not symbol any„Nazi“ motives.
