"Hitler and the Germans," an exhibition in Berlin's German Historical Museum which investigates the society that created Hitler, has seen more than 10,000 visitors walk through its doors since opening on Friday. Rudolf Trabold, a spokesman for the museum, said there were 4,000 visitors to the exhibition on the first day alone. People visiting the exhibition said they had waited as long as 1-1/2 hours to get in. Ravi Nair, a 73-year-old Indian visitor, said: "I had to queue for about an hour but it was worth it. The exhibition should help people in democratic countries realize that their vote is very valuable." Trabold said Hitler and the Germans was so popular because it was "the first exhibition to explain how a man who lived on the margins of society for 30 years, in Vienna's men's hostels, could become an almost mythical leader of the German people. "We are all affected by Hitler, so it speaks to all of us and helps Germans and foreigners to come to terms with the past." Inge Lonning, a 72-year-old tourist from Norway said: "I thought the exhibition was very impressive. I wanted to see it because I experienced the German occupation of Norway as a small child, so it's not just history for me." But not everyone was convinced there was something new to be learned from the exhibition. "So much has been done about this period over the years, it was like, I knew this and I knew that," said Canadian Julien Cayer, aged 28. "I thought I'd find something new but I didn't." There has been widespread concern in the German media that the exhibition could become a magnet for neo-Nazi admirers of Hitler, but Trabold said that although there had been some right-wing extremist visitors, they had not caused any problems.

在柏林的德國歷史博物館舉行的展會“希特勒和德國人”自上周五開幕以來，已經吸引了一萬多游客前來觀看。這場展會對“創造出”希特勒的社會進行了調查研究。 博物館發言人魯道夫?特拉波德說，展會第一天就接待了4000多名游客。 參觀展會的游客說他們有的在門外等了一個半小時才能進來。 一位73歲的印度游客拉維?耐爾說：“我排隊排了近一個小時，但這是值得的。這個展會可以讓民主國家的人們意識到他們的投票權是十分寶貴的。” 特拉波德說，“希特勒和德國”展會如此受歡迎是因為它是“首個詮釋一個在德國邊緣社會生活了30年、曾經居住在維也納流浪漢收容所的人如何成為近乎神話般的德國領導人的展會”。 “我們全都受到了希特勒的影響，因此這一展會所講述的故事與我們都有關系，而且它能幫助德國人和其他國家的人接受這段過去。” 一位來自挪威的72歲的游客英格?龍寧說：“我認為展會非常震撼人心。我想觀看這一展覽是因為我在年幼時經歷過德國對挪威的占領，所以對我來說，這不僅僅是歷史。” 然而不是每個人都確信可以從展會中獲知一些新東西。 28歲的加拿大人朱利安?凱雅說：“這些年來關于這一時期所做的研究太多了，我發現，這個我知道，那個我也知道，我以為自己會發現一些新的東西，但是我沒有。” 德國媒體曾普遍擔心這一展覽會吸引那些希特勒的新納粹主義崇拜者，但是特拉波德說，盡管游客中有一些右翼極端分子，但是他們沒有引發任何問題。 相關閱讀 （中國日報網英語點津 陳丹妮 編輯：馮明惠） |
