Post-World War II Germany acknowledged and confronted its Nazi past, dismantled Nazi institutions, and worked towards reconciliation with its neighbors. While justice was not always served, the truth was told and based on that, society was able to be renewed and peace was secured. Some ex-Nazis remained in positions of power until the 1970s, but overall Germany made efforts to address its past and move towards a more peaceful future.
