Re: QUestion for Germans or People who have lived there

Yeah, that't basically my experience as well. We started with WWI and Weimar Republic in seventh grade History as a lead in for eight grade History and on, at which point we did Third Reich and WWII until tenth grade, which was a mix of WWII and DDR. From eleventh grade onwards we did Third Reich and WWII again. Then in German class you had, starting eight grade, war literature, post-war literature, and literature from Jewish authors of the time. Sociology also had a focus on Third Reich and WWII starting tenth grade, Religion focused on Nazi Germany in ninth and tenth grade. We also briefly talked about it in Economics(BWR and VWL), but that was mostly focusing on the economic/financial aspects.

The older generation really doesn't talk about it. I had a very enlightening conversation with my mother (60) once; apparently she and her generation never did anything about Nazi Germany in school. Talking about it wasn't done until the 70s/80s, because back in the 50s and 60s the teachers (and all the adults, really) were people who had been Nazis (in the generals sense of having lived in Nazi Germany, not necessarily members of the NSDAP/Gestapo) and their shame actually kept them quiet. It wasn't until the post-war generation grew up that it became a topic that was talked about and taught in school.

And yeah, my grandmother and great aunts/uncles are the same as your grandmother. They will talk about the war or the inflation, but they won't talk about Nazis or Hitler, and the family on my grandfathers side even were refugees who went into hiding two years before the war started and had close Jewish friends.
