www.canadaone.org/category/notes/ On March, 14th, 2006 the concept of the test for citizenship was offered by the earth Giessen. The project includes 100 questions on knowledge of a policy, history, a science and culture of Germany. The future citizen should know, in particular, that such the Holocaust (a genocide, destruction of Jews in Europe at the time of nazism); that designates concept "a German economic miracle" (economic blossoming of Germany in 1950-1960th years); that assumes the right of Israel to existence (inhabitants of the State Israel within the borders recognised as the world community have the right to a life, free for fear, terror and violence); that happens on July, 20th, 1944 (attempt at Hitler); that the first article of the constitution (inviolability of human advantage) guarantees; what measures of education parents to children can apply (insignificant punishments, for example, in the form of deprivation of pocket money are supposed; a beating and other kinds of violence are forbidden); as armed forces (Bundeswehr) are called; Where the EuroParliament (Strasbourg) sits; who has composed "the Ode to pleasure" (Ludwig van Beethoven); as called German philosophers and pioneers of motor industry (Fridrih Nitsshe, Immanuil the Edging, Arthur Schopenhauer; Charles Benz, Ferdinand Porshe, Gottlib Daimler); what German doctor has opened activators of a cholera and a tuberculosis (Robert Kokh). The test is not applied yet. The head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Giessen Folker Bufe named its working basis for consultations on introduction of the uniform test at federal level. However it has not prevented British newspaper The Times in March, 2006 to publish the critique "Be tested to learn, whether you will descend for the German", devoted to the Giessen variant of examination on citizenship. The material was accompanied by comments to questions from the test and illustrations. German magazine Focus has answered the British colleagues with article "British were dishonoured", having specified that in note The Times the Belgian flag instead of German has been printed and the out-of-date variant of a hymn of Germany is given.
