Incidents at a school in the eastern German state of Brandenburg have given rise to fears over far-right sentiment in the classroom. Officials have expressed dismay, encouraging teachers not to shrink from hate.

It’s sociologically similar to how the USSR (and now Russia) love to whitewash all the heinous shit the Soviet Union did around the same time - and considering that the GDR was a member state of the USSR, it’s easy to see how that created a positive feedback loop.
Yeah, it’s all deeply fucked. I don’t think I am capable of making up the best solutions to this issue other than finally banning the nazi party, which was already acknowledged as a nazi party a while ago and only needs to be banned.
No it wasn’t, and neither was e.g. Poland. Part of the Warsaw pact and politically subservient to the USSR, part of the bloc, but not part of the USSR.
It is also similar to the way the US and the UK do not like looking at their own problematic history. Probably other countries too but I am not familiar enough with their politics.
