The citizenship test to be introduced for would-be Germans has met with broad resistance. It’s too hard, too ideologically biased, historically unsound and littered with errors, say its detractors.

The Central Council of Jews in Germany has voiced concern about the test’s handling of the country’s Nazi past, pointing out that the word “Holocaust” is conspicuous in its absence.
