Just a year after Churchill's speech, German philosopher Karl Jaspers published The Question of German Guilt, in which he called for the necessity to remember. In English, you will find this book titled The Question Of German Guilt, but in truth, it is not that. Germany Since the early 2000s, there has been increasing interest in the question how Germans have remembered their experiences as victims of the Second World War. That year a short book was published, Die schuldfrage : ein beitrag zur deutschen frage, The question of guilt: a contribution to the german question, which is usually rendered, The Question of German Guilt. This interesting paper published just after the war is quite fascinating in its insights into the question of German guilt. The lecturer tells his small group of students that the reading list only has one book on it: “Karl Jaspers, The Question of German Guilt.” And there we have it: the second theme, which builds the story. Instead of simplifying the question of German guilt, The Reader presents a narrative nearly as problematic as its subject matter. At the end of World War Two, Karl Jaspers gave a lecture which came to be published as The Question Of Guilt. To unquestioningly accept the innocence of the Jews in their loss of civil rights in Germany, and in their deportation and eventual internment in concentration camps seems naive. The question that is seriously being asked here is: Should I feel guilty about what was done by Germans under nazi rule? After the Second World War, the philosopher Karl Jaspers wrote a book on the question of German guilt, in which he distinguished four different types of guilt: criminal, political, moral and metaphysical. In the years after the Nazi government fell, a philosophy professor at Hindenberg University lectured on a subject which burned the consciousness and conscience of thinking Germans.
