That too, but what I exactly meant was some... I don't know, yearly commemoration or something like that. From how my teacher phrased it, it came off more like 'blame the germans of today so they feel bad' instead of 'mourn the victims of the past' feel to it.
The thing is, our politicians don't have the backbone to acknoweledge the bad stuff that we contributed. The general consent, when Austria 2nd Edition went green-lit in 1955 was that we were ass raped by the Nazis. Which is actualy true, but it also worked the other way around...somehow. And while Germany took all the blame (after all, the regime was governed from Berlin) and they did a great job at processing the past and hunt down every single last Nazi, Austria didn't quite felt the obligation to do this so scrutinizing, because ya know, we were the victim and all that. Maybe in the past 20 years it has become better, with dealing with the past. But that still doesn't change the fact that folks these days still get lied to and are dishonest to each other about the past. Austria lives very comfty on her own big lie. **** it.
Edit: Bad grammar today, blame the beer.
