Of course. German guilt.
There was a conference held with a few hundred German Psychoanalysts and ONE American Psychoanalyst. They did a therapy session with two German analysts--one was the analyst and one was the client. The client--who was also an analyst--disclosed to the therapist a dream he had the previous night. After the session was over, people from the audience chimed in. The American analyst, who was the "guest of honor," said that the patients dream was about guilt over the holocaust. Interestingly enough, no other German analyst saw it--we often can't see our own social unconscious.
This stuff is multigenerational, often getting passed down from one generation to the next. Vamik Volkan, a Turkish Psychiatrist, who specializes in political psychology, talks about this phenomena. Anyway, he's written some really good books, if you're interested.
