德国政界对第二次世界大战的历史反思

Historical Reflections on the Second World War by German Politicians

第二次世界大战结束后,德国,特别是联邦德国的政治家曾对希特勒和民族社会主义给德国和其他受害国人民带来的"灾难"进行过多种多样的反思和探讨。从总体上说,他们的认罪、道歉和赔偿的态度是比较真诚的,但不谐之音时时可闻,争论也非常激烈。政治家们对历史的认识,不仅与其个人修养、价值观和党派立场有密切联系,而且也与国内外的局势变化息息相关,并且往往表现出为现实政治服务的目的。历史反思与现实政治自始至终都是难分难解的。

On the historical＂disasters＂of Hitler and National Socialism,the post-war German politicians have conducted a variety of reflections. Generally speaking,their attitudes toward the peccavi, apology and compensation,were fairly sincere,discordant voices could be heard over and over again, and the disputes were exceedingly fierce. Manners of these politicians were not only related to their personal morality,values and partisan stands,but were also closely interrelated to the changes of the situations at home and abroad,and they often had a function to serve contemporary politics. In fact there is always a close connection between historical reflections and politics.
