the Holocaust often have very limited Holocaust knowledge and these students, “seek a ‘normal’ German national identity and feel the Holocaust is too much of a burden, not an important part of German history.” He has seen that the students who want to be proud of Germany again, tend to not be interested in the Holocaust and thus want to spend less time learning about it (Frontline). While it may seem that a student’s own motivation and German pride impedes Holocaust education, the German school structure and subsequently the time spent covering the Holocaust is problematic. As mentioned previously, students who attend Gymnasium will receive a formal Holocaust education at least twice in their schooling, while those in Realschule and Hauptschule…

No matter what kind of school a German student attends, they must complete at least nine years. If they drop out of Gymnasium, they will be required to fulfill the rest of the nine years in either Realschule or Hauptschule. Also unlike the United States, foreign language is required for five years, usually beginning at a young age, compared to our three years in…

college if the student has decent grades. The way each country sets up their school system dictates which students will be the most successful, and which will fall off into a dead end job. Once the fourth grader completes their placement test they can get put in Gymnasium, Realschule, or Hauptschule. Each has their own curriculum and goals for its students.

But that’s where most of the similarities between German and American education disappear. After elementary school students have the option, depending on their grades, of three different high schools. If you have below-average grades you would go to a high school…

philosophy. The purpose and goal of a university education was no longer clear. As it is written in the article, the purpose of the was to “teach them intellectual skills, prepare them for careers after graduation, or develop their characters.” It is quite telling that German universities were directly referenced in the article. Around the time American children begin middle school, German children take a test that essentially determines the course of their lives. There are three different…
