One survey question asked the following: When you see photos of the starving Jews in the Concentration Camps [of the Nazis during the Holocaust], how do you respond? The responses were as follows:
-74% Above all, compassion.
-27% Only very little compassion as I had nothing to do with it.
-23% Above all, a disgust with the Germans.
-7% I don't know or No Answer.
The survey's various questions do demonstrate by the high number of those who replied "Not enough information" or " No or little knowledge of the Holocaust" or "it doesn't apply to me" in various parts of the survey on their Holocaust awareness, education on the Holocaust must be improved in Germany for the many minorities (such as the Turkish Germans) who do not feel responsible for learning anything about the Holocaust--i.e. as they are/were not responsible. [In short, some creative forms of empathy-building are needed in German schools for minorities along with the implementation of a variety of educational training methodologies need to be employed more to integrate minorities in Germany.]
