To be fair, Germans largely don't deny what happened. Being a holocaust denier can even get you into prison. IHMO that is how you should handle such matters.

Don't ask the German people what kind of porn is best.

Maybe the point is that not all countries are equally bad and belong on the list

Boy, the museums are really just the very tip of the iceberg for the Brits.

A list about things to not ask them for would be huge.
