Anna
What has happened at school already again?

Mark
Ah, as far as I ´ve heard Tom ´d loaded down a "Sieg Heil, Heil Hitler" - ring - tone on his mobile - phone.

Anna
Daddy said, once there was a time phones had only belled at all.

Mark
Nobody was bothered by that up to now at any way. But Tom visited whith his class the police - exhibition about criminal investigations last week.

Anna
...ah sure, we are going to visit the exhibition too. It seems to be very interesting.

Mark
But Tom´s mobile - phone belled just exactly during the visit...

Anna
...and then?

Mark
And then? Such matters are forbidden! The police confiscated Tom´s mobile - phone at once. The youth welfare office was called.

Anna
Only because of the ring - tone? ...so, I ´m not of the opinion that Tom´s behaviour is an extremely good taste, but...

Mark
The Nazis killed millions of people ans started the Second World War! Our teacher said we have to engage ourselves in order to prevent that such things will happen once more!

Anna
But Adolf Hitler is dead already for many, many years.

Mark
The man is dead, that´s correct. But his ideas are not dead at all, and there are a lot of new followers.

Anna
...you have to confiscate a mobile - phone in order to prevent it?

Mark
The teacher said, we have to prevent that neo - Nazis are allowed to make propaganda for their ideas thereby they will never again can decide anything at all.

Anna
But I cannot imagine in a serious way that there is anybody who wants to carry on war in reality... ...but one moment please, recently I ´ve heard a man saying in the tramcar he wishes a new war because he could fight for Germany.

Mark
Once grandma told me most of the Germans thought so 100 years ago short time before the beginning of the First World War...

Anna frightens
What? Really? That´s terrific!

Mark
Yes, people went to war with enthusiasm at that time especially against France, because France was the German sworn enemy.

Anna
But didn´t anybody objected to go to the army?

Mark
There were only a few people against the war at that time, and this ones were despised by everybody.

Anna
But why are people do so? That can be a pure suicide!

Mark
Yes, and a lot of them died in reality in a very cruel way. We cannot understand today why people thought so at that time.

Anna
Does the cause deal something with religion again?

Mark
Now, we can say yes to this question in a certain way. Daddy thought the church promised to all soldiers to go to heaven atomatically, if they had to die during the war.

Anna
That´s strange. Probably the French church promised the same matters to their soldiers too.

Mark
What will you lead to?

Anna
Now, I want to imagine the soldiers would go to the same heaven after they ´d died. Than they would carry on the war to heaven... Hm. ...org might it be that there are a German and a French heaven?

Mark
Ah, your questions are really astonishing... Aunt Angelika said that there would be an absolute peace in heaven at all.

Anna
Hm. That means that people have to die at first in order they cam become friends?

Mark
No! Fortunately we ´ve reached friendship to our former enemies on the earth. Frenchmen and Germans are friends today. There will be never again a war between our peoples. We ´ve got a common future.

Anna
...but with the other peoples we have reached peace too

Mark
Surely, we want to get a peaceful future with all peoples of the world.

Anna
Now I can understand that the neo - Nazis are totally frustrated, because we have no longer got any enemies at all, we can make war against.

Mark
The neo - Nazis have got the same enemies like the old Naizis, Jewish people, homosexuals, and black one...

Anna
But the neo - Nazis can´t make a real war against them, because those ones are living everywhere...

Mark
Of course, they cannot make a big war against those people, but they can humble them and makes them to people of second and third class.

Anna
That will also be worth at all. But do you think that the majority of the population will comply with?

Mark
The neo - Nazis want to make the best of the worse economical situation of the country at all. There are a lot of unemployed people, and the state can´t afford to pay enough money for them in order they camn life in dignity. More and more people don´t want to trust the old politicians any longer.

Anna
That´s similar like the situation after the First World War during the 1920ths. A lot of people suffered misery and called the radical parties who promised help. Grandma told me a lot of this time.

Mark
...further than there were a lot of Germans who were feeling hurted in their patriotic dignity by the Allies who ´d won the First World War. But that´s not the case today.

Anna
Therefore the neo - Nazis are being active in more or lesse in all of the other countries, and partly they are successful.

Mark
Yes, we may not neglect the danger the neo - Nazism causes.

Anna
...sure, but what can we do?

Mark
Daddy oppeses our teacher. Daddy said it would be senseless to prohibit neo - Nazis organizations, the propaganda of the neo - Nazis should be tolerated...

Anna is astonished
What?

Mark
Sure, if we persecute them, we will provoce new injustice. It would be better to discuss with them in a rational way.

Anna
...if you can speak with irrational people in a rational way at all...

Mark
You cannot surely discuss with convinced hardcore neo - Nazis, but there are only a few of them. But we can still discuss with the most of their followers and friends.

Anna
Oh, now I can understand matters. We have to speak to those people which still might be convinced. The hardcore neo - Nazis alone are powerless themselves but they depend on their followers.

Mark
That´s all right totally. The neo - Nazis would only make profit by the pity ploy an could find new followers.

Anna
But why don´t our politicians act? Are they really stupid?

Mark
Daddy sais, it would be really stupid to think that you can solve problems of such kind by laws and prohibitions. That would be similar to try to forbid bad wheater by lwa...

Anna
Of course that will not be possible. That´s clear.

Mark
But at the other side the old politiciand would have to act in a right way to solve the problems of the country.

Anna
...and why don´t they act? That might be dangerous in any way!

Mark
Surely. Daddy said we have to change our behaviour, but the polticians wouldn´t have understand it, that´s the problem of all political parties.

Anna
You can ever hear the same gossips. There are a lot of people who will not want to confess having making mistakes in the past time.

Mark
Unfortunately you are right, but self - criticism make the great of man.
