(Kinder und Zeitgeschichte: Jüdische Geschichte und Gegenwart, Nationalsozialismus und Antisemitismus, Supplement 8, pp. 75–84)
This is a qualitative study, based on the results in Fügel 2009, of German primary school children’s communication about Nazism and the Holocaust. It demonstrates how interwoven these exchanges are with general German memory discourses about these topics, but also how the children already at the age of 9–10 reflect upon their need to learn about this dark side of German history.
