German word

Ok, I have now learned the longest German word, tonight, and man, it is a long. Here it is:

die Vergangenheitsbewältigung

This word, which I don't think I ever will be able to pronouce, means "coming to terms with the past". I can't believe that 6 words in English can be summed up in 1 word in German.

Unbelievable.
