This diploma thesis deals with reflecting of the World War II in consciousness of the contemporary German generations, which have no direct experience of the period in question. The aim is to answer the question of whether there still persists a feeling of "collective guilt" for the crimes perpetrated on the other nations, especially on the Czech nation. The thesis thus defines a concept of guilt, and follows the public discussion and interpretation of history in Germany at the present time, as well as in the post-war period. For this purpose, it observes the official German policy, activities of civil society and public by means of media, literature and cultural and educational activities. The thesis also analyses historical facts of the post-war period in Germany and development of German-Czechoslovak/Czech relations and their importance for the contemporary German interpretation of history.
