I would say that the post war denazification and the recent influx of
politicall correctness into schools has succeded in preventing the
transmission of German Culture.

It is almost impossible for a German to partake in any aspect of
traditional German culure without having holohoax shoved down their
throats.  It's easier not to celebrate German culture.

Paul Edward Gottfried, Multiculturalism and the Politics of Guilt:
Toward a Secular Theocracy
University of Missouri Press, 2002

As Prof. Gottfried points out, American notions of "caring,"
"inclusiveness," and deprecation of the majority population are
quickly becoming the norm in Europe. Germany, in particular, must
consider everything in light of whether it atones properly for Nazism.
Prof. Gottfried describes "Weimar 1999," the celebration of the 250th
Anniversary of Goethe's birth in that town, as an especially loathsome
example.

The events, for which there was federal government money, concentrated
as much on the nearby Nazi camp of Buchenwald as on the ancient
Thuringian town ostensibly being honored. This new brand of German
"civic patriotism" even required staged, public conversations between
Weimar school children and elderly survivors of the camps.

Any celebration of anything German must be tempered with apologies for
Hitler. As Prof. Gottfried explains, "maintenance of a contrite mood
serves so- country is so hysterical about the dangers of "improper
thought" that a federal judge, Rudolf Wassermann, wrote in 1994,"He
who denies the truth about the Nazi extermination camps
threatens the very foundations upon which the German Federal Republic
is erected." The very foundations!

Prof. Gottfried quotes the famous German historian Ernst Nolte: "There
will continue to be a kind of soft totalitarianism, which is certainly
not bloody, which allows some range of opinions, and which is even
permissive in matters that are not politically important, but
intellectually it is totalitarianism all the same."
