in the current economic crisis comes, in large part no doubt, from the radically different attitudes to history between Greeks and the EU elites.

The "franco-german axis" (an unfortunate term in the context, but for want of a better word) have digested both fascism and communism and take for granted that a concensus view exists on the events of the 1940s. This is generally true in French and German society, but obviously a wide range of situations exist in the rest of Europe. And Greece is no doubt on the bleeding edge of undigested history.
