520 As an increasingly polarized America fights over the
legacy of racism, Susan Neiman, author of the contemporary
philosophical classic Evil in Modern Thought, asks what we
can learn from the Germans about confronting the evils of
the past In the wake of white nationalist attacks, the
ongoing debate over reparations, and the controversy
surrounding Confederate monuments and the contested
memories they evoke, Susan Neiman’s Learning from the
Germans delivers an urgently needed perspective on how a
country can come to terms with its historical wrongdoings.
Neiman is a white woman who came of age in the civil
rights–era South and a Jewish woman who has spent much of
her adult life in Berlin. Working from this unique
perspective, she combines philosophical reflection,
personal stories, and interviews with both Americans and
Germans who are grappling with the evils of their own
national histories. Through discussions with Germans,
including Jan Philipp Reemtsma, who created the
breakthrough Crimes of the Wehrmacht exhibit, and
Friedrich Schorlemmer, the East German dissident preacher,
Neiman tells the story of the long and difficult path
Germans faced in their effort to atone for the crimes of
the Holocaust. In the United States, she interviews James
Meredith about his battle for equality in Mississippi and
Bryan Stevenson about his monument to the victims of
lynching, as well as lesser-known social justice activists
in the South, to provide a compelling picture of the work
contemporary Americans are doing to confront our violent
history. In clear and gripping prose, Neiman urges us to
consider the nuanced forms that evil can assume, so that
we can recognize and avoid them in the future.
