Aus einer Abhandlung zum "österreichischen Gedächtnis". Wissenschaftlicher Vortrag
Der Absatz beginnt damit, dass zunehmend "Erinnerungszeichen" errichtet werden, zum Gedenken an das Schicksal der Juden im 2. Weltkrieg. Es werden dazu Beispiele angeführt.
Dann folgt der Satz:
Zugleich ist die Sensibilität für Erinnerungszeichen, die eine klare Distanzierung vom NS-Regime vermissen lassen, gestiegen.
Ich krieg ihn einfach nicht hin. DANKE!
