Past Ghosts, Present Treasures Shape German Identity

Germans have a hard time when it comes to defining their national identity. The National Museum of German Art and Culture in Nuremberg takes up the challenge in an exhibition entitled "What is German?"

What is German? Matthias Hamann should know since he spent three years curating an exhibition of the same name for the National Museum of German Art and Culture in Nuremberg. "We found that there is no general answer to the question," Hamann said. "'What is German' means providing a variety of answers."

"But what is probably truly German is to ask the question 'what is German?'" he added.
