West Germans are forbidding their children to watch television or films which depict the facts of German history under the Nazi regime, according to a survey conducted here by the Bremen Radio and Television Authority.
The study showed that many young Germans, in the age brackets between 10 and 15, were ordered by their parents not to watch the series of 14 TV programs, aired last year, entitled The Third Reich.” The series had been hailed as a documentary with high educational value.
The Bremen broadcasting authority added that German television and film coverage of the Adolf Eichmann trial in Israel had also been “verboten” to youngsters by parents who did not want them to know too much about the Nazi atrocities.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
