Response to To Resist HItler and Survive

I partially agree with Neiman's statements that more memorials should aimed at the people who resisted and survived instead of those who died. By increasing the awareness of these individuals, future generations will hopefully be moved to act against similar tyrannies. By remembering the victims, however, these generations can prevent these situations from coming about in the first place. That said, I feel that Germany is doing a good job in taking steps to acknowledge their past and come to terms with it. While many do believe that they weren't around at that time and that it does not concern them, remembering events such as these is the only way to prevent further tragedies.
