Hi everybody,
I am very happy about the possibility to do this seminar and learn something about your culture and your country. Cambodia and Germany may seem very different but I think there are as well things that we share. Some aspects of Cambodian and German history are quite similar – I´m thinking about the sad episodes during the civil war in your country and the Nazi regime in ours. It would be interesting to find out if people in our cultures deal with these topics in the same way or if stategies differ from each other and how? In our country the time of Nazi Germany is still very present since the media never gets tired of it and I learned a lot about it in school when I was 15-19 years old. One history teacher spent a whole year on this topic. This semester there even is a seminar on holocaust literature at university. How is it like in your country?
