This is the phrase that makes my nation hang its head in shame: 'Deutschland alles' – above all. To some, it might easily be dismissed as an unremarkable, patriotic chant.But for Germans like me it is unmistakably the phrase adopted by the Nazi party and now for ever associated with Adolf Hitler's heinous rule.There is the swastika, there is the Holocaust and there is this ugly slogan. Nazism is an indelible stain on my country's collective memory. It is the ghost we live with every day. We learn about it in school and at university, we see it at the cinema and in the theatre.
