The Lesson: teaching the Holocaust to Germany’s Gen Z



“The Lesson” follows four children as they experience Holocaust education in the public school system in Germany. Filmed over five years, from 2014 to 2019, the film is a window into deeply rooted social and political attitudes in Germany amidst the resurgence of the far-right, xenophobia and a fractured, disparate collective memory of the nation’s history.

  1. Tell this to the people in used to be America.. they're walking right back into the gas chambers as Orange Hitler and his Nazi party destroy everything. People don't learn from history until it's too late.. disgusting!

  2. Words can be "spun".

    The reality of "what happened" cannot.

    Here, an unknown version, of a famous historical event "framed" according to our current MSM standards.

    "The Herero revolted in early 1904, killing between 123 and 150 German settlers, as well as seven Boers and three women …" (Quoted from Wiki. Note, this was a proven event on the entire timeline of settler colonialism)

    Everybody knows that history started that day.

    Obviously, the Germans had a right to defend themselves. The press was all over the place going *"Do you condemn the KHerrero terrorists??", at the start of every interview with a "Herrero apologist". Whenever questions were asked, just go "But it's a war" and follow up with a slogan like "They asked for it," or "Don't start something you can't finish," or "How can anybody live with neighbors like that?", or "These squatters didn't have papers," or "It was German land, and the consensus of the world gave it to them, so the Germans did nothing wrong," or one or other of the typical short brainless comments under every "Gaza war" MSM video on youtube. Did you hear that one about the "40 beheaded babies" too? A white person said it, so don't ask for evidence…

    Whatever happens, just remind everybody about the terrible people, who deserved everything they got, so don't be so "antigermanism" in your defense of terrorism…

    Whenever criticism surfaces, invoke the right to ask "Who is paying you!!??", because like everybody knows, such journalists are only doing their jobs. Then revoke the right of anybody asking critical questions….

    Do you think you cannot be deceived by words? Think again.

    With the DARVO strategy, and a nice sounding story, one can reverse "victim" and "offender" in every historical scenario. Deny the causes, accuse the oppressed, then reverse victim and offender, is happening and you are watching it, right now.

  3. The children of history are being deceived not to think for themselves, but to become the believers in stories…

You are the "child of history" being trained to spin and frame words and become a bigot, in order the defend a man-made system of power

  4. The method utilised is terrible. The geometry of terror is an ok detail to focuse on as to why such society was able to go to that level of racism mixed with all the typisch deutch effitiency. If you dont learn the fundamentals of white supremacy and its relation to patrioticism, the creation of a scape goat in societies, justice systems etc etc, everything that constitutes EU/DE/the west as dominating in the world as they are, then…. itll happen again, like it is now.

  5. Then they go and support another genocide. As always, Germany is on the wrong side of history. They focus so much on the past that when the past repeats itself right in front of their noses, they prefer to make the same mistakes.

  6. What happened to the jews of Europe should never be forgotten but what also what should never be forgotten is the communist regimes in the Soviet Union, China, and Cambodia killed between 21 and 70 million people. The exact number is difficult to pinpoint due to incomplete historical records and ongoing debate, not to mention the absolute inhuman ways these people died work camps, disease, executions daily my question is why is Germany singled out in the history books and in education? shouldn't all these crimes against humanity be highlighted?

  7. Os nazistas era monstro, egoísta, ladrões, assassinos, desumano, envejosos dos judeus porque onde os judeus moravam tantos tinham filhos y como trabalhavam bem y prosperaram com ouro, diamante etc!Viva Israel y todos que não querem destruí o próximo ❤️

  8. Only 1% of 1930s Germany was German Jewish citizens. Most lived in large cities like Berlin. The Jewish Germans had lived in Germany for centuries. In the 1930s, German Jews comprised a small percentage of the total population, estimated at less than 1%. Specifically, around 500,000 Jews lived in Germany, representing roughly 0.75% to 1% of the total population. This group was diverse, with many Jews assimilated into German society and holding positions in various professions.

    Again, only 1%. And 1930s Germany made them the scapegoat and core of the ideology and conspiracy theories.

  9. One thing though… 1t d1dn't happen.

    Educated people, academics and researchers have officially debunked this halacost myth. All these "concentration camps" sites have been inspected many times by researchers from many countries, and even official placard in Auschwitz has been revised but yet the 6 million remains the same go to Auschwitz today and you will see this placard.

    Js were put in these prisons, or camps as they were at war with Germany at the time. This is undisputed. Germans now are in full blown propagandize mode since childbirth, this is by the design, the State of Evil Israel is calling the shots on this "education" brainwashing in Germany now and for the foreseeable future.

  10. The knowledge of young Germans about their own country in that era is zero, and that is because the war generation kept the topic as an absolute taboo. The current Germans do not want to be associated with Nazis. It's just a matter of looking into their past, and you find grandparents or great-grandparents in the SS or as informants…

  11. Que ironía intenrtar enseñar o mostrar un "holocausto", cuando en la actualidad eres el responsable de uno en desarrollo. Que cara duras…..

  12. Through two world wars Germans proved they are capable to do such a things, this is why especially this nation must learn. That's why all of this happens. People who call it shaming or blaming are stupid.
