Susan Neiman | What America Can Learn from Germany

How has Germany confronted its history of Nazism and moved forward? In her 2019 book Learning From the Germans: Race and the Memory of Evil, Susan Neiman explores this decades-long process and by way of comparison, how the United States might do the same with its legacy of slavery and contemporary racism. Amidst a national reckoning about racism, reparations, and monuments in the United States, Neiman and moderator Mary Johnson engage in an important conversation about confronting the evils of the past.
