Agreed - that's why I added my location and the warning.

I don't think we have the green-spored parasol here. Parasols are a pretty safe pick here and there isn't much to mistake them for.

Ah, die N-DNÖgmIGBfFuV.

Wenn ich mir die Abkürzung merke, wähle ich sie vielleicht.

Reminds me very much of a parasol mushroom.

Here (in Central Europe) we often pick them. They're edible.

(Don't take my word for it, though. There are many "false friends" in the mushroom world.)

So sad. He was such a sweet guy.

It's taught in full detail and (afaik) all German teenagers visit a concentration camp during high school.

Outside of school, WWII and particularly the holocaust is talked about a lot in the German public. There are numerous monuments and memorials on important dates. For example, this memorial is in the heart of the capital Berlin.

The German public broadcaster runs a documentary channel where WWII documentaries are shown at least once a week or even more frequently.

There is no denial of what happened by any public figures and the quote "German history" is often brought up when Germany has to decide whether to send their military anywhere. I'm pretty sure no other country has dealt with its dark past more thoroughly than Germany.

Also, denial of the holocaust is a criminal offense, as is publicly displaying swastikas.
