Many scientists left Germany with the arrival of the "brown plague." They cursed and forgot the country that literally threw them into the dustbin of history, but not Karl Jaspers, who decided to pass this test with his people. He cursed Germany in 1945. In 1937, he was disgracefully deprived of the title of professor for sympathy with the Jews, and then former colleagues began to poison the professor. The scientist did not want to leave the country even then. For eight long years he wrote "on the table" and lived under the daily threat of arrest. In 1945, everything changed, the shackles of fascism fell. Jaspers thought that now everyone who collaborated with the regime would go to the dustbin of history, where he spent eight long years, but when he came to university, he met the same people who organized the persecution of him. Everyone seemed to have forgotten about the past. The scientist could not survive this shame, he cursed Germany and left the country. Never again did he set foot on German soil, and the result of his disappointment was the main work of the philosopher: "The Question of Guilt," in this essay he first substantiated and formulated the concept of "collective guilt." This work was the beginning of a great process of comprehending the phenomenon of fascism, it was she, as well as a number of essays and interviews by Karl Jung and Sigmund Freud, who tried to comprehend the question of guilt from the standpoint of analytical psychology, and compiled this book.
