I’m glad that you mentioned Germany as an example. They don’t have statues erected to memorialize or teach society about the evils of fascism, but instead they’ve created an educational infrastructure to combat these human ills. Of course, this process wasn’t created by Germans themselves out of a sole desire to do good — De-Nazification was forced upon them by the victorious Allies. The United States has never been placed in this position, and as such, we’ve always chosen the path of least resistance — pretending that placing a few museums here or mentions in a history book there will automatically lead to correction of our past and present problems. It just doesn’t work that way.
