Excellent piece.
I live in Germany, have done for a few years, drawn by what I thought were Germany”s post ’45 credentials.
How wrong I’ve recently discovered that move to be, and how disillusioned I’ve become. i’ve spent entire weekends writing and emailing German politicos with either zero recognition or thinly veiled abuse in return. The propaganda is stifling – It really is a parallel universe, as you rather more eloquently point out.

Above all, the utter dishonesty here is for me the most dispiriting – report after report of increasing antisemitism here, but not one politician , not one media outlet – nowhere is the question posed: Why? Why is antisemitism on the rise, and why now? What are the causes, is there a link? .. They dare not, and therein lies the national deceit.
