school in Germany is brought face to face with the nation\u2019s past. For many, this means confronting the reality of the Holocaust for the very first time. \u201cThe Lesson\u201d explores how new generations in Germany grapple with this tragic history, following a group of children coming of age in the town of Fr\u00f6ndenberg.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Director Elena Horn traces the educational journey of four students over the course of five years. From the first uneasy discussions in the classroom, to an emotional visit to the nearby Sachsenhausen concentration camp, the students are introduced to the atrocities committed in their own community.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Complicating matters, students hear conflicting ideas from their gym coach that contradict the formal curriculum, and are exposed to locally nascent far-right groups that manifest in the form of neo-Nazi football hooliganism. As the journey deepens, some students are shocked to discover direct familial links to Nazism.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Caught between conflicting family histories, the official line of classroom education, and experiences at the concentration camp, each child struggles to form his or her own views.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>Lily becomes inspired to campaign against the local right-wing party, the AfD. She finds no support from her peers. Indeed, Lee declares she and her family would rather remain silent than speak up. And, Nele is left torn in two minds on the subject, unable to find her away amidst the myriad of conflicting perspectives she encounters.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>The experiences of these children highlight the fractured and disparate memory of Nazism in Germany, and brings a timely call for better education on the topic.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>With a haunting overlay of rare archival footage, the film sharply underscores the power of education as a military tool, laying out the architecture of the Nazi educational curriculum that was installed in public schools before World War II for wartime indoctrination of the populace with Nazi ideologies.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>\u201cThe Lesson\u201d sheds light on the powerful truth that \u201cMitlaufer\u201d or \u201cbystanders\u201d enabled the rise of Nazism in the 1930s. But the film brings hope by focusing on everyday German citizens who take a stand against the rise of the far-right.<\/p><p><br \/>This haunting societal study exposes how easily far-right movements can grip society, and how the ghosts of Germany\u2019s dark past still linger. \u201cThe Lesson\u201d is timely, essential viewing amidst the resurgence of xenophobia and the global far-right.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a92c9cf elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"a92c9cf\"

I wanted to explore the reality of how this explosive topic is handled in practice, in classrooms inside Germany\u2019s borders. What I found exposed an astonishing myriad of inconsistencies. I wanted to explore the resurgence of the far-right and xenophobia in politics and various subcultures, the fractured and disparate collective memory of National Socialism in Germany and the surprising lack of intimate knowledge or education of the younger generations on the subject. What I found was that even in a modern and developed state, the remnants of a shameful past still live on and shape the perception of younger generations.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a80e8da elementor-widget elementor-widget-toggle\" data-id=\"a80e8da\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"toggle.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1761\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1761\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-left\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-plus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-minus\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Read more<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1761\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"1\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1761\"><p>As a native German, the Holocaust is a very personal topic for me. As a young person I remember realizing I had never encountered anyone of the Jewish faith, and I assumed that many young Germans, who were not born in one of the nation\u2019s metropolises, might be in a similar situation \u2014 that the pain and disruption of these Jewish family histories weren\u2019t visible to me but rather situated in my imagination.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>I initially intended to make a film about how the German culture of guilt is established within our population. A feeling that I carried inside of me ever since I learnt about it. With fewer and fewer survivors being able to tell of their experiences under the fascist regime, I saw the schools as the only place where this memory and feeling could be awakened. But when I returned to my hometown and began to film in my old high school, the situation in the classroom turned out to be profoundly different from how I remembered it.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>I wanted to reject the premise that the Holocaust is either \u2018\u201cinexplicable\u201d or completely relegated to a previous age. I sought to gain an understanding of our national reality by exposing elements in German society that glorify our tragic past.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>This film does not focus on aggressive gestures and hate speech of the alt-right but rather on the slow and pernicious creation of \u201cMitl\u00e4ufer\u201d or \u201cbystanders\u201d, who allow a complacent, dehumanizing shift in society to happen. We want to inspire people to question whether they themselves might passively contribute to a power system that is murderous for others.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>I grew up in close proximity to the town of Dortmund and its active neo-Nazi scene. I have followed the rise of political antisemitism and Islamophobia. And, my roots in the rural town of Fr\u00f6ndenberg have informed what I think is a unique approach to the subject. Often, right extremism is framed as an East German problem but this story is set right in the heart of former West Germany.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>The film shows that Germany\u2019s Holocaust education is unfit for our time. I hope that the documentary will help raise awareness of the importance of Holocaust education, which is under dramatic decline. 40% of German children today do not even know what Auschwitz means. Germany\u2019s self-image of mastering its history of genocide needs to be revisited. The notion that Germans are immune to future Nazi movements because the people have \u201clearned their lesson from WWII\u201d must be abandoned, a fact which is brought into full relief by the results of the last general election.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p>We must confront the remnants of nationalist pride in the collective memory of older generations as well as the resurgence of the modern-day far-right. This film focuses on ordinary children who are standing in a rift. My hope is that people who watch the film will understand the subtle ways in which fascism self-propagates and lingers within society, and that this understanding will inform and drive us to rectify the future.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section
