Many scholars 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 face this trial alongside his people. He cursed Germany in 1945. In 1937, he was disgracefully stripped of his professorship for sympathizing with Jews, and then former colleagues began to persecute him. The scholar refused to leave the country even then. For a long eight years, he wrote "in the drawer" and lived under the daily threat of arrest. In 1945, everything changed, the chains of fascism fell. Jaspers thought that now all who collaborated with the regime would be cast into the dustbin of history, where he had spent eight long years, but upon coming to the university, he met the same people who had organized his persecution. It seemed everyone had forgotten the past. The scholar could not endure this disgrace; he cursed Germany and left the country. He never set foot on German soil again, and the result of his disappointment was the philosopher's main work: "The Question of Guilt," in which he first justified and formulated the concept of "collective guilt." This work marked the beginning of a major process of understanding the phenomenon of fascism; it was this, along with a series of essays and interviews by Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud, who attempted to explore the question of guilt from the perspective of analytical psychology, that made up this book.
