Because giving up is not an option: how we foster hope and save democracy in the process
Germany sees itself as the world champion of "Erinnerungkultur" (culture of remembrance) and of processing past issues. But how is it then that right-wing populists win elections, right-wing extremist crimes are inadequately investigated, and the slogan "Never again is now" ("Nie wieder ist jetzt") has become a meaningless phrase? Max Czollek and Hadija Haruna-Oelker believe that this is also due to a failed German culture of remembrance. Together, they reflect on a new method that shapes the present in such a way that the past does not repeat itself. An astute and controversial analysis of the societal shift to the right by two important intellectual voices of our time. A book full of humor, sadness, resistance, and the energy to start from scratch.
"Empathetic and clear. One would like to recommend everyone to delve deeply into this book." - Frankfurter Rundschau, Michael Hesse
