There is no sin to forgive, but that should not be mixed with forgetting.
Forgive whom? They're all dead. You're certainly not suggesting their offspring or the German people as a whole should be held accountable for or share in the guilt for this.There is no excuse for what happened here, and no possibility for forgetting for some. Some still live with its consequences. There is no sin to forgive, but that should not be mixed with forgetting.
Because history has taken a back seat in the modern education system, leaving the door open to "modern interpretation". For example: current social complaints claim that the U.S. engaged in slavery for nearly 400 years and even the U.N. recently encouraged the U.S. to apologize for that. However, history shows us that the European powers that each claimed territory in North America brought slaves with them (the Spanish, British, French and Dutch) and it wasn't until 1778 that any slaves within the boundaries of the United States were actually owned by American citizens - this only lasted until 1864...less than 100 years.Much of this could be applied to slavery, the consequences of which we are still wrestling with in the US.
