  Collective patterns of understanding and interpreting terms like people, race, nation, honour or faith had been compromised as a result of their appropriation and misuse by the Nazis. After Auschwitz, Germans on both sides felt a special need for intellectual and spritual renewal so that in both systems, cultural and religious questions drew increased public attention. In the Federal Republic this took the form of a thorough review of Christian traditions and a demonstrative opening towards the values of western individualist culture and a market economy, while in the GDR there was a deliberate return to those elements of the national cultural heritage which were seen as 'progressive', accompanied by a universal reorientation toward international understanding and cultural exchange, above all with the Socialist partner states.
