I sometimes wonder where the myth of German efficiency originated.

It’s striking to think that the same drive for order once led to the persecution of minorities. There are countless films, museums, exhibitions, books, and countless other reminders of that history.

But is today's German society efficient enough to confront and reduce the prejudice against foreigners that we learned about in those museums and history books?

Only time will tell.

@ everton137 The drive for order didn't lead to National Socialism, i think, that was caused by circumstances like the Versailles Treaty, economic hardship and political chaos.

It probably did result in trains running on time and detailed records of everything being kept.
