Yup, here's how Germany deals with her war past and with the threat of a resurgence of Neo-Nazism:

"This weekend, for the anniversary of the end of World War II, almost 30,000 people are expected to stand in a 20-mile long line, holding candles in silent protest of the neo-Nazi march. German locals, peace activists and politicians are due to gather in large numbers at Brandenburg Gate, Berlin’s historic landmark, showing the world that today's Germany opposes extremist tendencies.
The far-right demonstration will be kept away from sites dedicated to the victims of the Nazi regime — like the new Holocaust memorial. But, the gathering is still a thorn in the eyes of a great majority of Germans and especially of those politicians, who had tried to ban the march."
"That is why we as journalists have a strong responsibility — that is why it is so important to continue the education of future generations," said professor Guido Knopp, a historian and TV producer.
Knopp has produced several prize-winning documentaries about Nazi history for German television, ZDF. A total of 4.6 million viewers tuned in to a recent documentary on the bombing of Dresden.
"There is no such thing as collective guilt, guilt is always linked to individuals," Knopp said. “But there is a collective responsibility in Germany not to forget," he added.
If Japan can do something similar, then maybe she can exorcise herself from the ghosts of the past. The question is why can't she? What is the difference between Germany and Japan?
