One day, maybe not in my lifetime, the US will need a reckoning like this:
![An excerpt from Wikipedia:
Vergangenheitsbewältigunglal (German:
[fee'gananhartsba,veltigun], transl. "struggle of overcoming the past" or "work of coping with the past")('' is a German compound noun describing the moral and political effort to confront the crimes of the past. Since the late 20th century, this concept has played a central role in examining how post-1945 German literature, society and culture reflect on the catastrophic legacy of Nazism, a
regime marked by militarism, expansionism and genocide. In Germany, the term arose from a profound reckoning with the atrocities of the Holocaust, the war crimes of the Wehrmacht and the ideological terror inflicted in the name of the German people. Vergangenheitsbewältigung thus represents not just historical reflection but a rejection of Nazi ideology and an effort to build a future grounded in peace and accountability.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:yiqtyvyztobbetd4giagrlp7/bafkreibpdrude6occxvhcthhkjvcpmkazeepqapqnir37d4gjue5pcil74@jpeg)
