Die Geheimnisse des türkischen Präsidenten Lächeln sieht man ihn selten, seine Wutausbrüche sind berüchtigt: Recep Tayyip Erdogan ist seit 13 Jahren an der Macht – doch über den Privatmann ist wenig bekannt. Wie tickt der türkische Präsident? Macht, Moral und Muskelspiele Mit Hilfe von namhaften Experten, Biografen, Gegnern und Befürwortern zeichnet ZDFzeit ein Psychogramm des türkischen Präsidenten und zeigt, wie ihn sein erbitterter Kampf um die Macht geprägt hat. Er trinkt keinen Alkohol und besucht stets das Freitagsgebet. Er doziert darüber, dass Verhütung nicht mit dem Glauben vereinbar sei, jede Frau mindestens drei Kinder haben solle und dass Amerika nicht von dem Italiener Kolumbus, sondern von Muslimen entdeckt worden sei. Er lebt in einem Palast mit über 1000 Zimmern, torpediert Korruptionsermittlungen und billigt auch schon einmal öffentlich gewaltsames Vorgehen gegen unliebsame Demonstranten.

This is the result of a long-term survey by the Platform of European Memory and Conscience carried out in the years 2013, 2015 and 2016 among 2,500 respondents from 42 secondary schools in all regions of the Czech Republic. Students want less focus on prehistoric times and the antique world, and better modern history education instead. The survey is part of a presentation of the Reader for Schools “Lest We Forget. Memory of Totalitarianism in Europe“, kindly supported by the Ministry of Education of the Czech Republic in 2016. For the third time this year, the Platform of European Memory and Conscience presented its international Reader “Lest We Forget. Memory of Totalitarianism in Europe“ at different types of secondary schools in all regions of the Czech Republic, kindly supported this time by a grant from the Ministry of Education, Youth and Sport of the Czech Republic. During the event, in which also well-known actors/actresses and witnesses of totalitarian persecution participate, students fill in an anonymous questionnaire asking them “Do you think that our society has sufficiently come to terms with the legacy of Nazi and Communist totalitarianism after 1989?“ In three years, the statistically significant survey has had 2 485 respondents.
