德国、日本和意大利是如何教授第二次世界大战的？
我只能说说德国的情况。我们有一些德国学生，其中一个学生在告诉我她遇到的每个人都会自动想到 "纳粹 "时哭了起来。另一个女孩告诉我，学校的每个班级都利用一切机会提起这个时期的事情。她说，在一次烹饪课上，老师说他们做的是希特勒最喜欢的食物。
编辑。
有两个人说我没有回答这个问题，所以这里还有一些细节。
我们的三个交换生都报告说，德国的教育系统在处理第二次世界大战时，对德国人的责任已经到了痴迷的程度。他们不失时机地在课堂上提到希特勒或纳粹，并将这段30年的历史与之联系起来（比如我的烹饪例子）。我之所以提出 "眼泪 "事件，是为了说明他们不仅在德国境内的课堂上被要求对此事负责，而且在他们走出德国国境的任何地方都被要求对此事负责。
相比之下，我在英国系统中接受的教育没有告诉我关于克伦威尔对待爱尔兰人的情况，几乎没有告诉我英国对苏格兰人或威尔士人做了什么。印度被完全忽略了。我在澳大利亚接受教育的那段时间，很少提到澳大利亚的奴隶贸易（又称黑鸟贸易），也没有提到被偷走的一代。所教的关于原住民的内容很少，但却延续了无主地的谎言。此外，我们接待的法国学生中，没有一个人甚至听说过 "彩虹勇士号 "的沉没--维基百科事件，更不用说对其负责了。
有几个人评论说，纳粹的罪行与其他大多数战争中的暴行相比并不重要。
然而，德国人正视他们的历史。他们承认了这一点。他们承认是他们的文化导致了反犹太主义的发生，他们在学校里也是这么教的。
其他在过去做过坏事的国家，虽然没有那么坏，但也没有这样做。
成吉思汗对200多万人的死亡负有责任。
然而在蒙古，他是一个英雄。
在德国，没有希特勒的雕像。
毛泽东的大跃进杀死了大约4500万人。到处都有他的照片和雕像。
在德国，有许多纪念纳粹杀害的人的纪念馆。
这里只有一个。
在日本，是否有为近600万中国人、印度尼西亚人、韩国人、菲律宾人和印度支那人，包括被他们谋杀、折磨、强奸或饿死的西方战俘而设立的纪念碑？
我对此表示怀疑。
德国的小学生们被规定，他们在学校期间必须至少参观一次集中营。
几年前，我参观了著名的 "桂河大桥 "和 "地狱火通道"。有一车的日本游客在那里笑着开玩笑，给自己拍照。
他们一点也不觉得羞耻。这对他们来说是一个假期。那条铁路上的每根枕木都代表着一个人，在他们的文化对其直系祖先的操作下，被饿死、折磨死或干死。但他们要么不知道，要么不关心。
我的文化也不能幸免于历史的责难。我是英帝国主义的直接受益者，如果澳大利亚能像德国那样对待自己的过去，我会有更多的自豪感。
补遗
从所有的评论来看，在德国的教育经历是多种多样的。你们中的一些人说我错了，另一些人说我是正确的，我只想重申，我的样本很小，但它给出了我描述的一致结果。
How is World War II taught in Germany, Japan and Italy?
I can speak only for Germany. We have had a number of German students and one was reduced to tears when she was telling me about how everyone she meets automatically thinks “Nazi”. Another girl told me that every class at school takes every chance they can to bring up this time period. She said that in a cookery class the teacher said that what they were making was Hitler’s favourite food.
Edit:
Two people have said I didn’t answer the question, so here are a few more details:
The three exchange students we have had have reported that the German education system addresses the second world war in terms of the German responsibility for it to the point of obsession. No opportunity is lost (c.f. my cookery example) to bring up Hitler or the Nazis and tie that one 30 year period of their history in class. The reason I brought up the ‘tears’ incident was to illustrate that they are not just made to feel responsible for it in classrooms inside Germany , but everywhere they travel beyond its borders.
In contrast my education in the English system told me nothing about Cromwell’s treatment of the Irish, hardly anything about what England did to the Scots or the Welsh. India was ignored totally. The period of my education I spent in Australia made scant reference to Australia’s slave trade (a.k.a Blackbirding), and nothing about the Stolen Generation. What little was taught about aborigines perpetuated the Terra Nullius lie. Further, none of the French students we have hosted have even heard of the Sinking of the Rainbow Warrior - Wikipedia incident much less take responsibility for it.
A couple have people have commented that Nazi crimes do not compare to most other atrocities committed in warfare.
However, Germans face up to their history. They acknowledge it. They accept that it was their culture that acted upon the antisemitism and they teach that in their schools.
Other countries who have done bad things in the past, although none so bad, do not.
Genghis Khan was responsible for the deaths of over two million people.
Yet in Mongolia he is a hero.
There are no statues of Hitler in Germany.
Mao’s Great Leap Forward killed about 45 million people. There are pictures and statues of him everywhere.
In Germany there are many memorials to those the Nazis killed.
Here is just one:
Are there any in Japan for the almost 6,000,000 Chinese, Indonesians, Koreans, Filipinos, and Indochinese, among others, including Western prisoners of war that they murdered, tortured, raped or starved to death?
I doubt it.
German schoolkids are mandated, they MUST visit a concentration camp at least once in their time in school.
I visited the famed “Bridge over the River Kwai” and “Hellfire Pass” a few years ago. There was a busload of Japanese tourists there laughing joking and taking pictures of themselves.
They were not ashamed at all. It was a holiday for them. Every sleeper on that railway represented a man starved, tortured or worked to death by the operation of their culture on their immediate ancestors. But they had either no idea or they didn’t care.
My culture isn’t immune from historic blame. I am a direct beneficiary of British Imperialism and I would have a great deal more to be proud of if Australia treated its past in the way Germany does for hers.
Addendum
It seems from all the comments that the experience of education in Germany is varied. A number of you have said I was wrong and others that I was correct, I’d just like to restate that my sample was small but it gave the consistent results I described.
