I have to say sadly
that the atmosphere in germany today is still dark
here are some thoughts sha're,

the atmosphere might be dark but there's always a way to make it brighter. germany usually gets blamed as being "that nation" in europe with a dark past. actually, i think europe as a whole was going through a "bad phase" and so i don't think it's right to demonize germany, it's too complex an issue to just say "it's their fault". it's everybody's fault. we have to learn to get along with each other or we're doomed to relive those nightmares over and over again. now how to get along with each other? start with the little things, be nice when your out in public, be kind to other motorists, ect... the most unhelpful thing in my opinion is those few people in society who are unhappy and try to make everyone around them unhappy. i'm not just talking about suicide bombers here, there are people from my country who are the same way. so in closing, if we put the effort into it, we can all get along with each other.
