Sadly, people do, even here in Germany. When I use this example to illustrate how an information that was once "clean" can become "dirty", they don't seem to understand. They act like that "incident" is soo far away, some sort of horror story(!) that has nothing to do with today. Everything will stay like it is now. I guess the idea of something like 1933 happening again is so frightening or detached that they just dismiss it. EDIT: I should add that people who actually lived in the time of Nazi-Germany might have a very different reaction to jgrahamc's argument. I made my observation above mainly with young people.
