THOSE WHO FORGET - GÉRALDINE SCHWARZ KARTONIERT...

During the war  Géraldine Schwarz's grandparents were neither heroes nor villains - they just
followed the current. Afterwards they wanted to forget  to bury it all under the wreckage of
the Third Reich.But decades later  delving through the basement of their apartment building 
Géraldine discovers that her grandfather Karl profited from the forced 'Aryanisation' of Jewish
businesses - and so she is compelled to investigate her ancestors' past. On her mother's side 
she delves into the role of her French grandfather  a policeman during the Vichy regime. How
guilty were they?Combining generations of family stories with the history of Europe's post-war
reckoning  Géraldine asks: how did Germans transform their collective guilt into democratic
responsibility? And  given rising populism in Europe today  how can we ensure we learn from
history?
