摘要：The 1979 showing of the American movie Holocaust on West German TV became an occasion for a mass outpouring of grief and shock as a reaction to the stark depiction of the Holocaust in Germany and Europe. Jewish commentator Julius Schoeps said of the reaction that “[f]or many people in the Federal Republic, “Holocaust” was an emotional introduction, the first encounter with the almost incomprehensible horrors of the Nazi regime. More than just a few became aware for the first time that they had repressed the murder of the Jews that was committed in the name of the German people and had previously avoided dealing with the past.”
