The exhibition "After Hitler: Germany's Reckoning with the Nazi Past" showcases how the legacy of Hitler's regime continues to influence contemporary German society, highlighting a generational divide.
Hedwig Maria Ley's bust of Hitler, originally created in 1932, serves as a lens through which to examine Germany's evolving attitudes towards its Nazi past over nearly eight decades.
The resurgence of neo-fascist parties like the Alternative for Germany (AfD) illustrates the ongoing struggle within Germany to confront a legacy that some still revere.
The reluctance of postwar Germans to confront their former dictator, exemplified by the burying of Ley's bust, reflects a complex relationship with national guilt and identity.
