[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is kind of a weird and random post. OP, could you explain a bit about what prompted your post, and where you see your post going?[/quote]

Fair question, and frankly I'm not quite sure myself. This is of course a relationship burdened by history. I find personalized discussions still tend to be a tad akward or, more likley, just don't take place. So I wonder whether in an anonymous forum one can discuss these issues more openly.

What I'm interested in are issues such as: what's your view of today's Germany? Do you consider Germans generally decent people (but then how do you reconcile this with the holocaust) or not? For Jews with German-Jewish ancestry, do you feel that Germany is part of your family history? Have you been there - and if so what do you think - or not - would you be curious to go and what holds you back?

Full disclosure: I'm German but have lived in the US for a long time. Happy to address questions in the other direction if there is interest.

Btw, I don't want anyone to say anything. If you don't want to comment, don't.[/quote]
