As an increasingly polarized America fights over the legacy of racism, Susan Neiman 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, her new book "Learning from the Germans" delivers an urgently needed perspective on how a country can come to terms with its historical wrongdoings.
